any good quality 500w - 550w PSU will be fine for that, the GPU is quite low end and the processor won't pull much even when overclocked. Something like the 520w Antec High current gamer would be ideal

Very low end GPU, and get a 650w in case you feel like upgrading or for safety, but 550w is fine too.

quick question: you see the gpu in the list above. is that a low profile gpu? because i just found out that the milo ml03 case i'm going to buy only supports low profile graphics cards.

I looked up a few different MSI R6670s and none of the ones I saw are low-profile, so this leads me to believe that the one you want is not a low-profile card.

 

Here are some low-profile 6670s on Newegg:

Of the 3 on the page I linked, this is the one that I would get:

450 watts at the most, even with overclocks it's still a low power system. You could even go up to a GTX 680 or 7950 later on down the road if you feel like it with a 450 watt.

It's cool but I'm not sure whether that thing will save me or not. There's a chance that the GPU won't fit either way. Please watch this, then it'll make sense.

Honestly this would run on a 300W. 650W is a ludicrous recommendation, and 550W is overkill. A 400-450W like the Corsair CX430v2 might be reasonable, but you really could run that system perfectly fine on something like the SeaSonic SS-300ET.
