I have:
e6300 I'm going to overclock
GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L
Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066
VisionTek Radeon HD 4850
New DVD-rw
160GB Seagate SATA
CoolerMaster case w/ 2 or 3 120mm fans

Here's a few I gleaned from newegg.com
First the 500-600W
  • Corsair CMPSU-520HX for $99.99 after $20 MIR & Free shipping
  • Corsair CMPSU-550VX for $79.99 after $10 MIR & $10.25 shipping = $90.24
  • SeaSonic S12 Energy Plus SS-550HT $99.99 w/ Free shipping

Now the 600-700W
  • Corsair CMPSU-620HX $129.99 after $25 MIR & Free shipping
  • Corsair CMPSU-650TX $99.99 after $10 MIR & Free shipping
  • Save as just above but from Buy.com $79.99 after $10 MIR & Free shipping with the added benefit of savng an additional $30 if applying for a VISA CC AND THE WINNER IS! $49.99
  • SeaSonic S12 EP SS-650HT $109.99 w/ Free shipping
  • Xigmater MC NRP-MC651 650W $99.99 after $10 MIR & $10.80 shipping = $110.79
  • CoolerMaster Real Power Pro RS-650-ACAA-A 650W $89.99 after $24 MIR w/ Free shipping
  • PC Power & Cooling 561EPS 610W $89.99 after $20 MIR w/ Free shipping

As you can see I've highlighted the Buy.com offering. I may not need more than 500W but it still comes out to be the best offer.

What say yee?

Corsair CMPSU-550VX for $79.99 after $10 MIR & $10.25 shipping = $90.24
They are both Excellent PS. 1 modular and 1 not. The 520HX is one of the most popular PS there is . Very Stable, Quite, Efficient , 5 year warranty and A great Value. It could handle you system w/ no problems.

Corsair CMPSU-620HX $129.99 after $25 MIR & Free shipping is another great PS. This baby will last you through many builds. Modular etc.

If you're really concerned just get the Corsair 750W. They can be had for 115$. (I got mine yesterday for that much w/ 2 day shipping. (Only 5$! I had to))
