Hi, A good 400 W one should be OK.

but maybe i will run medium overclocking on the gpu in future
so is silverstone ST60F-ES enough?

 

[alexoiu]

Yes, more than enough.

i still want ask if stock cpu fan enough for cooling or should i get a aftermarket cpu cooler?
(not going to overclock cpu)

Here are some tests: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=intel_corei5_3470&num=10
I would install though an aftermarket one. Not necessarily when firstly assembling the system.

If you're overclocking the CPU, get the aftermarket one. never try to overclock with a stock cooler... it's barely enough for it normally lol.

 

[JackTan4896]

not overclocking the CPU just overclocking the GPU only =)
