Hi,
Below is the specs of a PC I plan to build, however, I'm unsure what PSU to get.

Intel Core 2 Q6600
G.Skill 2x2gb DDR2-800 CL5-5-5-15
Asus P5K Deluxe
Antec P180B Performance One
XFX 8800GTS 320mb 580mhz
Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi Xtreme
Up to six SATA drives
DVD-RW drive

So far, I have chosen two:
1. Antec EarthWatts 500W; or
2. CoolerMaster Extreme 430W

What do you guys think? Any advice welcomed.

Antec earthwatts 500watt if we are choosing between these 2...

But you can get the corsair 520 at zipzoomfly.com for $95 after 10 dollar rebate....
or you could get the Corsair 520 for $79.99 after $20 rebate....

Good Luck!!
 
JEDI is right on the money. The Corsair HX520 is the better psu and costs less AR. It will also handle 8800GTS SLI, has a single 40A 12V rail, 80+ efficiency, modular cables, and a 5 year warranty. 🙂
