Hello, I'm looking to do some upgrades to my PC. However, I want to know how many watts I'll need to run this GPU and this CPU.
Thanks!

they're way overestimating, something like 550W would be good for upgrades later on and overclocking headroom, XFX has some good ones as does OCZ, Corsair and Seasonic

Most GPU manufacturers overestimate by a bit, and that is total system power, not GPU. They are exaggerating because if they under-exaggerate, then you have a problem.

If you are planning on upgrades in the future for this computer, a 550W or 600W would be preferable.
For you system, you only need a 450W. XFX has a good one that's fairly cheap.
I'm trying to make this computer as future proof as possible, as in, like, 5 years.

These are measuring TOTAL system power, mind you, not just the GPU:
