    This is what i currently plan on buying what kind of wattage should i get for a PSU? I was thinking of going with a cheap yet reliable brand like seasonic.

    That's way more than enough wattage. You could run that rig with 400w

    At the very most I'd say a 650 watt. That covers you for sure if you want to upgrade in the future.

    Edit: Sidenote, I saw a video from jayztwocents where he had a 3770k and 780 ti, both overclocked. He simultaneously ran stress tests on both the cpu and gpu, and it was only pulling around 400w from the wall. This was measured with a kills watt meter. Mind you, this is with a simulated 100% load on both the cpu and gpu.
