EDIT: im planning on over clocking my cpu to 4.0 G if that makes a difference in the decision also planing on playing very to high demanding games and the pc i have now shuts off when i tend to play those types of games(Note: i bought a solidgear wich i shouldnt have but i did because its was cheap and now i see that its faulty) thx

I'd go for 750W, stick with EVGA, Seasonic, Silverstone, or Corsair for power supplies.

1. Pcpartpicker calculates that for you, but your link is broken so I cant see your build-wait, got it now

2. there are a lot websites out there that help you calculate your wattage, just google wattage calculator: this is what I got http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp

3. once you find out your wattage, the generaly rule is to add no more than 50 percent to it to find the size you need

in your pcpartpicker itll tell you total used wattage and just go from there any pus from seasonic would be a great choice imho their great budget friendly power supplys anything at about 650 watts is usually a good sweet spot.
