Unless you plan on upgrading video card later, then you only need about 550-600 watt psu for that system. What I would do is get a lower wattage psu and then upgrade to a 250gb SSD as you'll fill up that 120 gb fairly fast.

Also if you could swing it, get the R9 390 instead of the 380. Recommended card for JC3 is the 390.

And you may was well go with windows 10 instead of 8 at this point unless you really don't like 10.

Thanks so much for your reply. I took your advice and got a lower wattage PSU - the 550 instead. I am tight for money with this PC build so I will have to stick with the 380. Also the Windows 8 I'm getting comes with a free upgrade to Windows 10, so I could always upgrade to it if it wanted to.

I play Just Cause 3 maxed out with my GTX 760 at 1080p and it runs perfectly. The 760 and the 380 are about the same speed. My 760 is a 4GB card and it's fine so I think the 4GB 380 will run JC3 without any problems.

Thanks that reassures me a lot.
