What is the Wattage of my build? plzzz

[Chris Kowalski]

Hi, can someone let me know what the wattage of the given components will be as I am a big dumb dumb when it comes to stuff concerning the PSU.

(Bearing in mind this is my first build and i am absolutely up for criticism concerning the components chosen, I haven't purchased anything yet)

Components:
Processor: AMD FX8350
Motherboard: Asus M5A99X Evo R2.0
GPU: Asus GeForce GTX 660 DirectCU II OC Nvidia
RAM: G.Skill 16GB Ripjaws X Dual Channel Memory

Also when you buy a PSU is it a good idea to get one with slightly higher wattage than required? (for reasons unbeknownst to me)

Many Thanks,

Chris K

according to here:

http://www.realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/Page362.htm

a quality 430W PSU from Seasonic, XFX, Corsair (except CX series) or Antec will run a system with a single GTX 660

edit: their power recommendation do not take into account any overclocking. If you plan on oc'ing or going SLI in the future, check the chart for GTX 660 SLI requirement and then add 50-100W if you plan on overclocking.

id say to keep OC in mine for the CPU a quality 500w would be ok
