What PSU and cooling would be sufficient? Complete newbie with questions.

[Quote]

Hello there!

I've looked around this website for various pieces of advice and I've generally done some research into what components will constitute what I need.

I'm planning on building a gaming PC with a budget that won't be to excessive, however I'm open to any and all suggestions. My currently planned build for the system is as follows.

CPU: Intel I5 3570k

GPU: ATI Radeon HD 7850 or Nvidia GTX 660

Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-V LX

Memory: 8gb DDR3 1600mhz

Questions:
What PSU would sufficiently power this and also potential future upgrades + possible overclocking?
What cooling would be sufficient? I'm planning on sticking with air cooling for the budget, and also because it's what I'm more comfortable with as well.


This is all I've planned on buying as I have a low grade computer right now which I'm thinking of using pieces from this one to cover parts like the hard-drive, which may all be replaced or added to in future. Again, any suggestions welcome! This is all a learning curve to me and I know there is a lot I'm missing probably.

Thank you very much for reading if you got this far! And thank you even more for helping if possible!

if you have a local micro center the 4760k are onsale 199 last time i looked. also use parts picker to find combo deals. for air cooling the smallest air cooler would be the evo 212. there are some larger 60.00 120-140mm tower coolers. with large tower coolers your case with has to be able to take them. most large cooler are 160mm in hight. you also have to use low profile ram to fit it under some of the tower coolers. with your case look to ones with open top grills. (r300) most of these have two 120mm fans installed on on the front of the case pulling air in and one on the rear. if you stick with air coolers put in two fans to blow hot air up out of the case. with your rig make sure the motherboard does sli/cross fire. you can alway add another card and sli if your funds are low. with power supply a good 600-650 will do one card fine. if you want to sli or crossfire two high end cards get a good 850w unit.

I don't think I'm gonna have two GPUs. Maybe in future so I'll keep that in mind. thanks for the help!
