Will the power supply be able to handle that graphics card with a fx 8350?
I dont plan to ever overclock.

I also forgot to mention that i linked a bronze certified psu when i actually have a gold certified one so i dont know how much that would help in this situation.

Wont have any issue, actually its complete overkill to make you understand.

Even if FX 8350 eats a lot of Watt at load, you wont be running that high, your actual usage will probably hover at 300-320W or so.

What makes you say that? lol i need to know for sure.

Personally I would do a 700 watt. I have the 8350 with a 680GTX FTW + 4GB and have no issues but to be safe go with a 700watt corsair, if you wanna take the risk and beat on a 500watt for go it.

If you dont overclock the 8350 it would be fine. But the moment you start overclocking I would no longer trust it.

The FX 8350 uses about 200 watts at maximum and the 7970 runs just under 200W during heavy gaming(Crysis 2 maxed at 1080p) and it can reach 250w+ during furmark stress testing( but your never going to put that kind of load on it while gaming), so a 550W should work as long as it's a decent quality.

If you want to get a bit stronger PSU, you can find a EVGA 750W for $79.99 with a $20 rebate at Microcenter. If you haven't bought the Rosewill yet, I would spend the extra $10 and get the EVGA to give you some headroom for overclocking.
