Whats your budget? A 500-550w psu should be enough.

Its enough, but if you can swap the cx600m for maybe a seasonic m12ii 520w modular psu, the m12ii is much better quality for $99 at pcthemes.

Btw, you can change the 4 sticks of 4gb ram to a 16gb stick for $145 at videopro, helps to save up the slots for future expansion and dual channel isn't really needed

Go for SuperFlower Gold instead.

Choosing of psu is depending on what gpu are u getting , and also consider if u cross fire later on

 

[krystallos]

You can consider a non k chip since you are getting a h170 motherboard to save a bit and spend it on a better psu.

Also, any reason on 16gb of ram? If your just gaming and watching media 8gb is more than enough can save there too
