use the calculator, get a idea of what wattage u need, maybe add a little more for future upgrades, look through the list of psus via toms hardware link then see if there are reviews on the jonnyguru site , if not google it, or ask here, everyone has their favorites and opinions on what they think is what is the best. just find what fits in your budget and just make sure you don't go cheap as it is one of the most important parts of your system

500W is sufficient for your system. Quality is what you're after. Pretty much any unit from XFX or Seasonic is high quality. Other than that, you can look around for EVGA's B2/G2/GS/GQ units, Corsair's RMx/RMi/HX/HXi/AX/AXi units, or Antec's High Current Gamer or Truepower Classic units.

Just curious, where do you get that from? I got Windows 7 for a bit less, but Windows 10 would cost me about twenty bucks more as an OEM.

Nice, thanks. I'll keep that bookmarked.

Funny how in US guides noone ever points that out. Is this kinda thing illegal there?

I know it's legal over here. Softwarehexe sells Dell OEMs, and I've heard that's not legal in the US. Oh well, if it means I don't have to pay a hundred bucks for a key.

Thank you, 

I found the Evga SuperNOVA 650 G2 would fit perfect in my build

Only for 125 kinda expensive but it will fit in my buget
