I've calculated that the components at maximum load will draw roughly 600W. Should I get the Fractal Design Tesla R2 800W 80+ Gold Power Supply if theres a good deal on it? 

Anything like 7-800w should be OK I think and should be the sweet spot for efficiency.

 

Edit: Obviously branded and with a good efficiency rating.

A 500W PSU is more than enough for this build. But if you really want you can go higher for better efficiency or quieter operation.

I'm not that informed of which 500W PSU's are worth the money, but i recall that the be quiet! pure power L8 is good. 

When in doubt: C4
