CPU TDP is 125W.  From a quick search, Radeon 7950 maxes at 160W gaming.  Add ~40W for rest of the system and that's 325W.  Note that this is also peak power - you're unlikely going to actually reach it.

Need to take at least 10% off the rated wattage to account for capacitor aging.  So only 342 watts.

The old 380W Earthwatts wee had also only had a 4 pin CPU connector, which was why I got a new PSU, my motherboard takes 8 pins on CPU.  The Earthwatts Green is newer and probably has 8 pins though.

i7 3770 262EUR
i7 3770 250EUR
i7 3770 183EUR
(what's the difference?)

First one is the normal i7.
Second one is naked.  I thought naked CPUs are for OEMs and stuff, and you're not allowed to sell them like that.  Also no heatsink if it's naked.
Third one seems to be an i5 3570 that is mislabeled.  Look at the picture and details.

(same CPU family, but higher rated one is cheaper)

Dunno, probably a lot more stock of one over the other?
