I need help choosing the correct power supply for my PC.
This is my first built ever and I do not want any problems with my components.
I have used some power calculators but Im not sure if i can trust to them.

These are the components for my future PC

Cheaper and way better than yours.  You're going to want an Intel CPU for today's games.  I rearranged where your budget went.

Get a core i5 4460 and H81M if you haven't bought the parts yet, the fx-6350 belongs to a outdated platform that is beaten by the i5 and i3 in games. And the 950 isn't that good in terms a value (at least the one you picked) get a 4GB R9 380.

 

Regardless a decent 500W-600W will be enough just look in this list: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/406160-psu-ranking-and-tiers/

Try to get a case that supports usb 3.0 though.

I have a Phantom 630 and it's a great case, but only if you can afford to spend $100+ on a case. It should be noted that much of the case is actually plastic, so if you aren't a fan of plastic cases, then definitely go a different route (I don't really care either way, so it didn't bother me).

They're definitely not for people on a budget.
