    Use case and budget? The question as it is now is way too generic to answer.

    Given that you have 8 channels of RAM you might want to get 8 sticks as well.

    Given the hardware so far, I think you're way overestimating the PSU wattage. According to a PSU calculator I use, you're minimum required wattage would be just over 500W:

    That said, I'd probably go for something in the 550W-750W range, certainly not something huge like 1300W. Also, personally I'd go with a company like SeaSonic, Corsair, or other PSU makers with excellent reputations in that industry, as I wouldn't want to chance anything on a PSU (since a bad one can kill the rest of the components).
