anything around the 600watt mark would be more than capable of running that system, i would even say 550watts upwards would be fine, but the corsair power supply you have picked is not the greatest, yet not the worst. i would look at changing that to maybe a xfx/seasonic/antec, something like that. but apart from that all the components should play most games at 1080p at medium to high settings.
couple of links for alternate psu's.....

also for only a extra $30-$40 you could get alot better graphics card, such as the gtx 970 4gb, also it does not use alot of wattage so a 500-550watt psu would be fine......

sorry mis-read the price, i thought the card was still 299.99

Change the motherboard with the AsRock H97M, the ASUS board is a good one but may not support the CPU from the start. This board will support the CPU well.

For the price of the GTX 770 you can get a R9 290. The 290 is a better performing card then the GTX 770.
Not that the 770 is a bad card, for the money you can get some extra power.
With this machine you'll be able to play almost every game at Ultra/1080p.

Also as mentioned above, change the power supply with a more reliable one, Seasonic/XFX have good power supplies.

Motherboard: ASRock H97M Anniversary Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($59.94 @ SuperBiiz)
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon R9 290 4GB Tri-X Video Card ($249.99 @ Newegg)
Power Supply: SeaSonic S12II 620W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($61.64 @ SuperBiiz)
Total: $371.57

just remember tho if you go with the r9 290 they use alot of wattage and they run at very high temps, even the tri-x version does as i used to have one myself. so make sure you have good air flow/ventilation through your case!

Yes exactly. If you go with the Storm Scout II, make sure to remove the middle hard drive bay for extra airflow.
The Sapphire card is a long one, you'll have to give it some space. But it's one of the coolest 290 cards.

yeah its prob the coolest card you can buy, mine used to run anywere from 70 to 88/90degrees at times depending on the games but if you look up on reviews its a common thing that they run very hot. so don't be alarmed if you get one and the temps are that high!

SeaSonic 620W 80+ Bronze M12II Vs SeaSonic 620W 80+ Bronze M12II EVO
which is better?(what's the difference BTW?)

 

[TheMentalist]

They're both pretty much the same, the only difference is that the EVO is fully modular.
The M12II series PSU's are pretty expensive though, I would recommend the Rosewill Capstone 750-M instead if you were in that price range
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182264
Which is 750W, Gold rated, modular and has a good build quality.

750W is overkill but if you can get one in that price range then I'd go for it instead of the 620W models.
Don't be fooled though, the Seasonic ones are great both the S12II and M12II models.

what is fully modular is it good or bad? btw in my country we don't have rosewill psus

A fully modular power supply does not have cables attached to the unit itself. The cables are removable. That way you can use only the cables you need and leave out the rest, it helps with cable management and the overall building process. And it's nothing to be worried about, it's good.
You can go with Seasonic then, no problem.

Oh I see why you, some items are out of stock huh?
In that case, get the Gigabyte GA-H97M-D3H motherboard instead.
That one's available.
And for the rest, the build is pretty much the same.
