Biostar Tz68K+ or ASUS P8Z77-M

Finally oscillating between many a thoughts coming to my mind i have ordered Asus P8Z77-M and an i5 2500K. Now coming to the PSU yet again. AFAIK I should not overclock with my current PSU. So is seasonic sII 520w is going to be enough for my setup or should i go for 620w one?
My upgraded Rig would be:
Processor- i5 2500K
Mobo- Asus p8z77-M
GPU- Asus ENGTX 560 DirectCU(single Fan) 1gb gddr5(NO OC factory or otherwise)
PSU- FSP Saga II 500W(Current)
Cabinet- NZXT Gamma
RAM- 2x4 GB G skill ripjawsX 1600 MHZ
HDD- 1) 2 TB 5400rpm Seagate Barracuda green
2) 500 GB 7200 rpm seagate barracuda

Why a 5400rpm HDD ?!?!

Coz i just wanted it for storage. I have another 500 gb 7200 RPM Seagate Barracuda for gaming purposes. 2 TB 7200 RPM was way out of my budget.

@ OP - if you can either get Asus p8z77-M Pro or else settle with Asrock Z77 Extreme4.

Err..i have already bought ASUS p8z77-M as it was recommended by almost every1 on this thread over Asrock z77 extreme4. I hope the motherboard i have bought will allow me to do what i want i.e slight overclock maybe 4.0 or 4.3 at max.:)

You can easily overclock to 4-4.2GHz with that board, provided that you have a descent CPU cooler like Hyper 212 EVO.

Just a quick question-
Seasonic s12ii 620w- 5.4k
Corsair gs600- 5k

These prices are on flipkart and i will have to buy from flipkart coz only they are giving COD option. I have to order today so please advise. Do you think seasonic is worth spending 400 extra? Also how is seasonic's after-sale services?

Get Corsair GS600 @4K
There are sites like primeabgb, itwares, smc etc. which are very reliable.

theitwares @ 4.8k+ credit card charges(approx-200 Rs i guess) CORSAIR GS600 Gaming Series 600W Power Supply

Primeabgb.com- They don't have GS600, they have GS500,700 and 800

smcinternational.in- they don't have any GS series PSU listed on their site.

theitdepot.com- 4935 RS + Shipping charges (100-200) Theitdepot - Corsair Gaming Series 600W Power Supply (GS600)

Looking at the above details everything adds up to 5000+. Only flipkart is offering COD which will be the best way to pay for me as i am yet to get my debit and credit card(just shifted to allahabad).

So coming to my previous question seasonic 620w @ 5.4k or GS600 @ 5k? Please advise.

EDIT: Finally ordered Corsair GS600 from flipkart, hope i made the right choice :)
