Hi everyone!
I am seeking help regarding an appropriate power supply. For now, I am just making plans. At the end of the year, there will be a huge sale (Australian Boxing Day). I'm not quite sure what to expect from the sale but prices are expected to drop dramatically. I'll also pick up parts if they go cheap on the way. I will be building my first PC. I am looking to build a PC with a $1000 budget with maximum performance and a colour scheme (either black and gold or black red and gold). My current list of planned parts exceed my $1000 budget but they have been chosen with consideration of sales. Also, if anyone has opinions regarding any other particular parts, feel free to express them. The PC will be an all purpose PC. I wish to play games such as Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls and Counter Strike Global Offensive on high settings with steady framerates (my laptop currently sh**s bricks on D3RoS lowest settings in ACT V and just suffices with games on lowest settings). I may also do a little bit of photo editing on Adobe Photoshop here and there. I'm quite nooby so please don't flame. I'd also like build validation.
My planned list of parts (All prices were found from local sources in Australia and are in AUD) (Parts from centrecom.com.au and pccasegear.com) :

OR
-Intel Core i5 4460 ($219)
Motherboard:
-ASUS Z87 Deluxe (Bought $99)
Graphics card:
-Gainward GTX770 Phantom 2GB (Bought $299)
