Help Recommend a Power Supply please!

[houser2]

I'm home-building a gaming machine shortly, and I need a recommendation for a power supply. here is the rig as I have it now:

Mem:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145034
CPU:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819115003
motherboard:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131070
Video:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814161027 (Or something close)
Case:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811156175

Pic of specs for PSU included with case: http://images10.newegg.com/NeweggImage/productimage/11-156-175-10.jpg

From the reading I've done, I'm lead to believe the included power supply won't be enough to push all of the components, and to be honest I'm a bit ignorant on the finer points. Please help me find a suitable PSU (assuming the one shipping with the case is inadequate). While you're at it, feel free to criticize the rig as a whole ; )

budget for the PSU? The usual suspects apply:
--> fortron FSP550-80GLC, $113+8
--> Seasonic S12-500, $120+8
--> enhance ENP-5150GH, $70+??
--> enermax Liberty 500, $110+8.50
--> PCP&C Silencer 470, $99+??
--> Corsair HX520W, $130+8.50
... etc.

I would get a different case without a PSU if it were me; probably the Lian Li PC7B plusII, $84.99+20.17 from newegg.

Get a more reliable PSU. Enhance ENP-5140GH or 5150GH from ewiz.com should do it trick.

What's your budget for the case?

 

[houser2]

The budget for both the case and PSU are around 100 dollars each. I went with this particular case because anandtech editors recommended it for the price range. I like the look, but I am in no way married to it. The case and PSU are definetly the primary areas of ignorance for me when it comes to computer parts ; )

The Antec SLK3000B is a sturdier case and can be had for less.

As for the PSU, the Enhance ENP-5140GH will do just fine.

I'm not sure about this, but I think some games won't run with hi-res textures if you have less than 512MB of VRAM.

Do you plan to OC? If not (and probably even then) DDR2-800 is overkill.

 

[acegazda]

The enhance 5140gh will be more than enough for that, and it's a good buy @ $67 shipped. Quality, comfort and price! That's nice!
If you are ocing, you should check out some gskill ddr2-667. I think it's like $200 for 2gb. Generally VG overclocking RAM. For value RAM, corsair value select is really the best. It is slightly more expensive though.

Howard and Ace's recommendations are good, as usual. But if you're planning crossfire, then you're going to need more power. Like a Corsair HX520W for example.

The p5b-e isn't xfire compatable.
