Your system will draw about 400W under peak load, if you overclock the processor to 4Ghz at 1.5V vCore.

With that being said, I suggest you Corsair CX430 V2 or even better, Seasonic S1II 520W.

FSP Saga II 500W at the lowend or Seasonic S12-II 430W at the upper end. you can go for better models but these 2 should be fine if you don't have plan to plug in a highend GPU later.

Trust me, your O/C'ed system will never eat more than 400W.

CX430 is an under-rated unit to maintain efficiency. It can actually deliver well over 500W of current without failing.

I think it's good to stick with rated specs of a PSU - sometime review units are specially made ;-)
