How much watts do I need?
Specs:
Intel Core i3-530
4GB DDR3 1333( I might put another 4GB later. )
MSI GTX 650 1GDDR 5
(500GB) WD Blue
 
Solution
Yes, it is more than enough.

To determine how many watts you need, add up each component's thermal design power (TDP).
i3-530 TDP is 73W
GTX 650 TDP is 64W
Rest of system 100W
Overhead 150W
Total recommended: 387W
