How about Seasonic S12II 620 watt?

Yep, that's a good one.

Good choice. Better than the CS series.

Thanks for all the replies. I'll come back here if I need any help regarding the build, really helpful forum.

I'm also planning to buy the r9 390x 8g instead if I can increase my budget. Will that need a higher watt PSU?

 

Edit: Also, do I need an SSD? If yes, which one? Less than 250 gb would be fine for me I guess.

 

I found out that Seasonic S12II 620 watt isn't compatible with the low power states of Haswell CPUs. (Specifically the 4th gen Intel CPUs)

Will that be a problem?

IIRC, you can just disable C6/C7 states in the BIOS and there won't be any compatibility issues with the low power state. IMO, lower power states is just a marketing gimmick, your Haswell CPU will run fine on that PSU.

 

The 390X would run fine on the S12II.

 

An SSD, IMO, makes a large difference. Faster loading times and all that. If you're on a budget, the A-data SP550 or the Sandisk SSD Plus would be good choices. Otherwise, try to aim for the Samsung 850 EVO.

I'd choose the cheaper option as I'm already bit over my budget.

 

Last question, is a WD Blue WD10EZEX 1 TB a good hard drive?

Is that the Caviar Blue? If it is, then yes.

Sorry for the bump,

I'm considering not to buy an SSD since I don't care much about the loading times and I'm going way over my budget.

 

So my question is, should I get the Seasonic M12II 620 (Not the EVO version) watt instead? I've read that it is compatible with Haswell CPUs.

The M12II is slightly more expensive than the S12II, though.
