PSU advice on first build

[caddyshack]

This is my first time building a computer, so understand I don't much knowledge about building computers.

This is my build on PC part picker. It says the wattage comes out to 384 watts so I went with a 500w PSU. I then checked on new eggs PSU calculator to get another opinion and it came out to 834 watts. How much wattage would be sufficient for this build and how much wattage should I get if I were to over clock the GPU or CPU ? I'm not sure if the parts will show up correctly from the pcpartpicker link

switch out the 270x for a 280 they are the same price, the Psu switch it out for a XFX TS 550w, That motherboard you picked out is not really for OC, it has no heatsinks on the Vrms, whats your budget?

A few of changes for this build. The LEPA psu is absolute junk. I haven't heard great things about them. For 5 bucks more right now you can get an Antec 80+ gold 620 watt psu. I also changed the motherboard to a more reliable Asus one. This one is an awesome little board for around the same price. The g43 has been known to have really bad heat sinks on it, and in a few cases even caught on fire. One more change is the graphics card. You can get a 280 from sapphire for 172 bucks on sale right now.

My budget is ~800. My friend helped me pick out most the parts and stupidly I already ordered them without doing my own research. Are returns with new egg a hassle ?

its not really a hassle but it will take time and skill to get newegg to pay for everything , make up a valid excuse and they should give you a shipping label for free to return everything.
your really missing out on alot, the GPU 270x 4gb model is meant for CF, alone the card is not strong enough to drive 3gb of vram much less 4gb, for the same price you could have gotten a much stronger GPU, and if your really into gaming an i5 is the way to go for overall Gaming experience.

here are great Psu for on the same price range of 60-70$
