You realistically need a 600 watt 80 plus Silver. However, I would go with a 850 Watt 80 plus Silver / Gold for the future upgrades. Also, overclocking will only kill your CPU faster unless you have a really good cooling solution.

Agreed on the rough wattage. You are running a fair bit of kit. Ideally you want a reliable brand of PSU, (Corsair, Antec, Coolermaster, something like that) and around the 800w mark, will be ideal. Dont cheap out on unknown names to save yourself a couple of bucks, it really isnt worth it.

If you arent planing to SLI just go with 550W-650W.

Get the Corsair hx650, its awesome.
