Planning to use this as a work station(not editing, more like paper works and skype calls)

Use the PSU tiers list to verify brands/models to get.  You don't need the 1kW PSU unless you have a lot more or plan to stick a lot more in the system.

 

I'd stick with the Seasonic Platinum.  It's on the Tier 1 list.

If you are not planning on doing a multi-GPU setup, you could save a bit of money by getting a lower wattage unit. A 550w PSU would be plenty for your system.

Wondering why you want a PSU with such a high output when your system will draw less than 300W of power under overclocked load...?

 

See if you can find a Rosewill Quark 550W for cheap. It looks like you're looking for high efficiency since this system will be on all the time and the Quark would fit that role nicely.
