Wow I can't make up my mind, I will look out for a MODULAR one as my case has barely any room T_T.

People say that OCZ tends to not be as stable,but this one's $35 on sale..
OCZ ModXStream Pro 600W ATX 20/24PIN SLI Ready Modular Cables 135mm Fan Active PFC Power Supply

So I should rather get a Seasonic Modular $95, and wait for a sale?
Seasonic M12II 620W EPS12V 20/24PIN ATX Power Supply PFC 80+ Bronze Modular 6PIN PCI-E 120MM Fan

I have an OCZ ModXSteam Pro 700W along with a 69501GB and have no issues whatsoever.

Okay I thought I might as well get a new Case to fit an aftermarket heatsink to OC the Q6600 and non-modular cable management.

I currently ordered:

Case: Coolermaster CM 690 II Advanced ATX Mid Tower Case Black 4X5.25 1X3.5EXT 6X3.5INT *No PSU*

PSU:XFX 550W PRO550W Core Edition Single Rail ATX 12V 44A 24PIN ATX Power Supply 80PLUS Bronze

HSF:Coolermaster Hyper 212 Plus Direct Touch 4 Heatpipe Heatsink AM2 AM3 LGA1366 LGA1155 LGA1156 120MM

So a GTX460 is good enough for this or can I push it and get something more powerful? Assuming I'll OC to 3.2 Ghz once I get the parts...

Yes the AMD HD 6850 is slightly better performer than GTX460, but what I meant to ask was if i get something like the 560ti or 6950 would that bottleneck @ 3.2?
