My guess is around 200-210W. But to be safe get a 300W PSU like Antec BP300P

I'd say got for a Antec VP500 costing appx 3.2k for your rig. It will easily handle a future GPU + CPU upgrade too.

[MENTION=145143]SaiyanGoku[/MENTION] you sure that 300 watt is enough because my gpu requirement says 400 watt and the TDP is aroud 60-70

bp300p is enough for that config. but since the price difference between bp300p and vp450p is not much larger, you may get vp450p

300 W is sufficient. And since computer components are only going to get more power efficient, you shouldn't really worry about future upgrades, I think.

I used to run a AMD X2 4000+, Random Mobo, 2 sticks of ram, 1 hdd AND 1 ATI 4670 on a 220WATT PSU for 2 years.

Now running a config similar to yours (i3 3220, intel mobo, 1 ram, 1 hdd, 1 ssd, ATI 4670) on an Antec 300BP for 1 year.
