Hey does anyone know what power supply i should get i have a

CPU: Intel Core i3-4160 Haswell Dual-Core 3.6GHz LGA 1150 54W 

Motherboard: ASUS Z97-PRO GAMER LGA 1150 

Video card: MSI R9 380 GAMING 4G Radeon R9 380 

RAM: HyperX FURY Series 8GB (2x 4GB) DDR3 1866MHz 

Storage:  Western Digital Blue WD10EZEX 1TB 7200 RPM 

I'm guessing i should get a 750W Power supply i just want to know if that is good or not 

WAYYYYY TO HIGH!

450w to 550w is all you need. Since you can't oc the CPU, you probably don't need the Z97 mobo either.

You'll be WAY overkill on a 700W PSU. Get an EVGA 550W GS.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

here is a great tool for you to use:

PCPartPicker also has a feature where it will also estimate your wattage needed. I usually take this and add on 50 to 100 watts just so you have that headroom.
