''future-proofing'' - what exactly is that? More specifically, how is it connected to power supplies? Because the world I live in, computer hardware components, ESPECIALLY video cards are getting extremely power efficient and require less and less power every generation or so. A quality 550w unit as listed above is way more than enough for a build like this and I guarantee it'll be the same for the future. The only time you'd need more than a 500 - 600w unit is when you're running multiple video cards and a power hungry CPU like a 3970x for example. Any single GPU system WILL run off of a quality lower wattage PSU just fine.

Future proofing basically just means that you buy something better for a little bit more money now, so that you don't have to buy one later. If a cpu take about a hundred watts, and a video card needs about 200, then you're already half way there. If you push too hard and your psu sags, out goes your pc.

No, a good 500w psu is totally fine, Components are going down in power usage anyway. OT: I would give it a 9/10. It's a very balanced system.
