If you go to Kompett.ie , there is a good background on each product including the wattage , The graphics card will take up a lot of it , maybe be safe and go with a 600 watt.

I think esata would be better than usb 3

You'd be better off giving us a budget and letting us find you some parts. If I were you, I go for the best components and leave things like usb 3.0 controller fans for later. Also, don't get Akasa fans, they're as loud as hell.

EDIT: Pixmania are also doing a 5770 for €100, might want to consider doing that in crossfire. If you buy a whole pc, you might want to look at overclockers.co.uk.

They're all fine, although, I would go ati not nvidia. I think that's an ATi Chipset motherboard. You couldn't do sli with it if so. 6870 looks good or 2x 5770's would be good, what ever is better. Theres also a german site that supposed to be very cheap.

i have a 800 euro budget for everything (no moniter) but can go 2 900
