I'm not sure if i need any extra SATA cables or if I'm just missing anything in general. Any help would be appreciated

I generally prefer Seasonic brand power supplies, or at power supplies that Seasonic makes for other brands like the following CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX650 V2 650W for $80 after rebate.

There's also the CORSAIR TX Series CMPSU-650TX 650W for $50 after rebate & promo code. It's made by CWT (ChannelWell Tech), not a premium manufacturer like Seasonic, but still very good nevertheless.

Other than that it seems fine.

Looks good you could however substitute the DVD Drive for this:

You don't need to but I myself have had bad luck with Lite-on.

Also I believe you have enough sata cables that come for free with the motherboard. One for the DVD drive and one for the Hard drive.

Not exactly the cheapest but high quality. Is the purpose of your SSD for windows only? You could go smaller if you want.

Do you think i could go for a 600W psu or a little lower ?

The Core i5-3570k doesn't really use an excessive amount of power even when overclocked. The Radeon HD 7770 doesn't really use much power either compared to higher end cards; about 77w peak.

A 500w PSU will be more than enough for your setup. If you are trying to save some extra cash why not select the other Corsair 650w PSU I mentioned for $50? PSUs manufactured by CWT are still very good. If you are worried about power consumption, then regardless how much power a PSU can provide, the PC will only draw as much as it needs + wasted electricity due to inefficiencies. Therefore, the PC will basically draw the same amount of power from any 80PLUS rated PSU of any wattage. Naturally it's not a good idea to select a PSU that cannot provide enough power to the PC. That would be a bad thing.

Hey I run a 125 watt CPU (phenom II X4 955) and the HD 7770 and my system only uses around 300-325 watts at max with everything. You could even settle for this nice little unit:

Note I do not recommend Cooler Master Power supplies but this one is classified as a tier 2b which is very good.

Though no harm done getting a bigger power supply since it will be convenient for future upgrades.
