You should be fine with a 600 watt PSU, but you may want to go a little higher just for comfort, and if you SLI in the future, you won't have to upgrade to a larger PSU.

 

...also, you may want to look into the i5 4690k, if you can stretch your budget a little.

What have you chosen ?

 

As suggested above, you would be better with the latest cpu i5 4690K and a Z97 board. The western black hard drives are not worth the extra imo. I would go for a Seagate barracuda or just a standard wd drive (blue/green)

Where are you shopping/located? Budget?

Are you planning to sli?

The black/orange case, red motherboard, and blue ram is awkward.

Hi Hopsasa, great looking list of hardware choices you have there for your gaming passion. Thus, as for the hard drive, I suggest you to go with the Western Digital Black hard drive as per your initial choice. Since you are building a gaming PC, I'm pretty sure you are looking for a maximum level of performance from your hard drive. Thus, WD Black hard drive is the best choice to fulfill those high expectations as it is especially build to cater the intensive level of graphics from the latest games. Furthermore, it has been one of the most favorite storage choices for gaming category. For more information on the WD Black hard drive, kindly visit the below link:

Thank you for choosing WD as your storage solution. Hope the above information helps in your decision making.
