I'm going to get together my 1st rig and so I'm not sure about the amount of psu power I will require.

Built:

i5 4670K(not gonna overclock) But still will keep a K model as there is no price difference as to a deal.

or

i7 4770K(I can go for this if I save on psu and other components and somehow increase the budget)so let me know the psu requirements for both processor( I will use only 1 BTW)

Case: NZXT H440 and will use only the fans included (4 fans included) but ya I want few expansion later on.

Mobo: Asus z87-a

ram: 1x8 GB DDR3 Corsair Vengeance DDR3 8GB RAM (CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10)(can't go for an dual channel)

gpu: MSI Twin Frozer GTX 770 2GB GDDR5

SSD 120gb evo samsung

HDD 500gb 5400 rpm segate(I have external storage like 4 tb segate so wont invest money in internal due to tight budget)

optical drive (external dvd writer) not possible due to the casee

Cooler: Corsair H100i(only if I save money)

I have calculated in cooler master's website power supply and they showed that I only need 490W (choose i5 for it though) but I asked few of my friends who have build there rig before and they said if I get 600W then later on it will be problem if I add 1 o 2 more fans or hdd....

SO PLS HELP! LET ME KNOW THE AMOUNT I NEED. DONT WANT TO SPENT TOO MUCH OVER IT THOUGH. I wont overclock and if I in future then I will add a new psu and remove the existing.

460W at 100% (which you will rarely ever reach)

 

So...get a 550-600W Bronze PSU,just like @DEcobra11 said.

i5 4670k @ 4.2GHz (Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo); ASrock Z87 EXTREME4; 8GB Kingston HyperX Beast DDR3 RAM @ 2133MHz; Asus DirectCU GTX 560; Super Flower Golden King 550 Platinum PSU;1TB Seagate Barracuda;Corsair 200r case.
