Guys for future-proofing is 520 W enough.
Also please tell me the EXPECTED power requirement for my this config :

CPU Intel i5-3570K
Motherboard GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-D3H LGA 1155 ATX
RAM Corsair Vengeance CMZ4GX3M1A1600C9 - DDR3-1600/PC3-12800 1X4gb
Cabinet Corsair Carbide 400R
HDD Seagate SATA 5400RPM 500GB
Monitor Samsung SyncMaster 510N
Keyboard+Mouse!


For this how much power would be required?
Also I will be adding a GFX card+HDD 7200RPM+SSD drive later after 6months?So how much more power would be required?
Plan to use the same PSU for atleast 5-6 years!

@Phenomenal

With your current config with seasonic s12ii 520w you can even go for hd7950 or a gtx680 with full overclocking without a problem.
If you are not thinking of multigpu setups or a dual gpu card then this should be more than enough.
Remember with every generation of newer cards the power draw is going down.
If you want then get a decent(atleast 80+ certified) 600W PSU or more.

i5 3570k TDP=77Watts.Overclocked power draw would be a little more from the processor.Some HDDs consume sround 12-20 watts at full spin.In idle there power draw is quite less.
SSD power draw is very less.

Unless you tell which gfx card you are using one can't tell approximately what amount of power it would consume.But rest assured seasonic s12ii 520w or any good PSU can handle
a card like gtx680 or a hd7950 with the mentioned config.

@VKL : thanks a lot man.will be confirming the prices tomorrow,buying within 2 weeks.
Both are 80+ Bronze certified.
For 620W on flipkart - it says only AMD processor suppport while in reviews people have used Intel proccys
520W is awesome too,i'll if there is a difference of more than 1.2K then I guess I'll go for 520W or its 620W as planned?
How much time will it take for me to build this thing?
Really super excited.
Will be in touch with you :)
