I was thinking a 500/600W PSU would be sufficient for my specs. Pcpartpicker says it will all use 332W so it would leave room for a new GPU in the future, but IDK.
Specs:
CPU: Intel Ivy Bridge i5 3570k (would like to leave room for overclocking, but I won't be overclocking too much very soon)
GPU: HIS Radeon HD 6870 1GB
RAM: G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) [F3-14900CL9D-8GBSR]
Motherboard: ASRock Z77 Extreme4
Case: Antec Three Hundred Two
Storage: OCZ Agility 3 120 GB SSD + Maxtor 320GB HDD
DVD Drive: LG something too lazy to figure it out, if it's important I'll get it when I wake up

I'm probably going with Antec or Corsair, just to be safe.

i know you have already shown an inclination to buy an Antec or a Corsair psu but i want to reassure you that even if you do go with an Antec or a Corsair that you dont get a low end one (if Antec and Corsair even make low end PSU's), i bought a cheap PSU and here is my story : just sitting around writing a paper, already at 3000 worse oh great, AND THEN MY POWER SUPPLY LITTERALY BLOWS UP, huge electric boom, lose my paper and i was computerless for 2 weeks until i got a good ANTEC psu.
