As I'm currently thinking of building my own gaming pc, I cant figure out what wattage my psu needs to be? The specs:

Case: Bitfenix Aegis Red
Mobo: ASRock B85M BTC
Cpu: i3 4130
RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury red
Graphics card: MSI R9 380 Gaming 4GB
A 240gb ssd
And a 1TB Hdd

Any hardware related comments are also welcome
Thanks in advance :)

more than 500w is ample power for the build as is. the xfx ts 550w suggested above would be a great choice and allow for a better cpu and such later on easy if you chose to go that way.

looking on part picker here are 3 solid choices at the lowest price. if you can swing the $90 up front the xfx pro 750w is the same $50 after a huge $40 rebate. you don't need the power but sometimes getting more for the same price is simply too good to pass up :)

if you do not plan on overclocking the gpu, then the evga will be good enough. there are better psu's out there but they cost more. in the future, if you chose to get a better cpu or gpu, you will find this psu to not be good enough. but for the current specs, it will work.
