What PSU wattage should I use with the following componants ? Also can you please take the time to tell me if this is all compatible together, I'm sure it is but just need someone to double check :

I was thinking this one :

MOST THINGS ARE INCOMPATIBLE! I'm not going to find you all new hardware, but read my tutorial in my sig. It will help A LOT. Once you've picked out more new parts, post again.

1) Well first of all, I've never even heard of Sumvision so don't buy that.

2) Also, you don't need the CPU fan or the thermal compound, so you can delete that off your list. The CPU you picked out comes with both.

3) You should go with DDR3 RAM since you don't need to buy the other things. DDR3 1066 should be fine

4) CPU and Motherboard aren't compatible. RAM isn't compatible.

Your totally wrong, the CPU and Mobo And RAM are fine together :S
you have been no help what soever
He was just trying to help, its the thought that counts.

Anyway, your PC specs are not very high spec (Don't flame me! its the truth, there still good, but you can get better if you understand me)
So, you won't really want a very high watt PSU, I would say, 750w max?

That one looks pretty good, never had any experience with it though, but 600w should do you fine.

you can go less, of course, 450w sounds quite low to me, but you can still try it.
