I'm in the midst of buying all the parts for my first build and I have everything except the PSU. I'm no expert on them so i'm a little clueless as to how much power i'll actually need. This is my build so far:

CPU: AMD FX6300 Black Edition
MOBO: Asus M5A78L-M/USB Motherboard
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz 8gb (2x4)
SSD: Sandisk G25 Extreme 120gb
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1tb
GPU: Sapphire HD7970 Vapor-X
Drive: Asus 24x Internal DVD Drive


If i could get a rough estimate of required wattage, it would be much appreciated :)

They will not increase the required PSU wattage, if you want to overclock, use the X650 or XFX 750W ( I recommend those to get the most out of your system in the future). The S12 620W will do fine if you do not plan on Overclocking.
