So I heard these things are power hungry.. I am a bit strapped for cash right now so I grabbed one of these:

Everything boots up fine and I can even play Aion Online for a while.. but as soon as I run 3DMark vantage or any other good looking title the computer instantly restarts.

I am guessing it is the power consumption.. my question to you guys is, what would be a good PSU to get?

I was looking at:

or

if you guys suggest it I could grab a:

but basically I need to know if the thermaltake would be sufficient or should I just spend the extra 20 bucks and get the BFG?


Thanks!

forgot to mention I have a nice sized gift card at best buy so it would have to be one of those two
