I put this on pastebin because I was sending it through Facebook. Basically, It's a bunch of links to parts. I couldn't find a decent PSU and was hoping you guys could give me your opinions on this build and maybe give me a few pointers here and there. http://pastebin.com/y2qisZkN
Get something at least 80 plus bronze. Seath google for a psu calculator and use several to make sure.
Use PCPartpicker.com

That should about do it.
if you buy a 80+ certified, A make power supply you will be allways safe.
Crosair,Enermax, coolermaster, Antec, be quiet, ocz, seasonic, xfx, zalman, thermaltake, Tagan,
this is a list from good A make psu´s :)
dont worry about the 80+ rating, if you read jonnyguru alot of the 80+ rated units barely pass that rating, where alot of units unrated do qualify.
the 80+ rating is a good idea the problem is alot of companies cheat at it.....in the end, its like the rest of the psu industry, you cant trust ratings on cheap stuff or even some pricy stuff(my buddy got a 1250watt psu from a top maker that when tested, couldnt take more then 875watts constant without poping.....lol

thats a build i speced up for somebody else, its better then going phenom.
if you need cheaper let us know a price range :)
note: the cooler can easily be dropped to the coolermaster hyper 212 evo, to save a few bucks, but the aegir is a beast!!!
na i had in my amd build with a fx8350 and a radeon hd7870 a CoolerMaster GX lite 700W psu, that was not 80+ certified,
That thing causes me problems, wenn i went gaming using my system a bit more intensive, it began to beep as hell. its was headace and annoying.
i went back to the store where i buyed hat psu, they said 700W must me enough for my build they tested the psu, in a system, with a low range gpu, and then it worked allright, they putted in a 7870 or simelar card, then it started to beep as hell again.
so that psu was deffanetly uderpowering my 7870 card.
so i chanced the psu, for a Enermax 82+ 750W 80+ Brons en now the beeping problem has dissapeared....
so i can tell you 80+ certification is realy an inportant issue..
Definitely try to find an 80+ certified power supply, especially if you are unsure of the total maximum draw of your components. Anything from a 600 to a 700 watt power supply should suffice for most single GPU build with current generation parts. If you are planning on going back a few generations to Phenom processors, do realize that they are exceedingly energy inefficient and will draw well over 200 W all on their own. Plan accordingly. Also, 80+ anything just measures the frequency with which and the extremetiy to which the power supplied dips below the expected range. Temperature also greatly effects the performance of relatively low priced power supplies, so keep them cool. Corsair has some solid 80+ power supplies for really competitive prices. Also, nobody has mentioned NZXT, which has high quality power supplies and Fractal.
indeed as i explained in my post.. 80+ certification, is a must have for todays systems, with a heavier gpu..
Don't buy any PSU that isn't 80+ certified, or from a good brand. Good brands are Corsair, NZXT, Rosewill, Seasonic, XFX...
Cooler Master is a good brand for cases, and other stuff, but not for PSU's.
eaven logan said it, its inportant to buy a good 80+ certified power suply and he is right, i faced it my self, with that coolermaster..
i was lucky that i could return that one, and pay some extra euro´s for the Enermax :D
so for the topic starter. buy a A-make 80+ certified psu, its inportant, and if i was you dont buy the cheapest one, and go about 750W then you have some playing space, and then you safe
