Power Supply Choices

[dmw16]

I bought a 500W OCZ StealthStream PSU for my hackintosh that was originally going to have basic parts in it.

Now plans have changed and my hardware has gotten a little "heavier". The system will be:

Core2Duo E6550 (probably overclocked)
2x2GB DDR2-1066
74GB Raptor
640GB Western Digital
DVD-RW

I already bought the OCZ, but found out it only had 1 chain of SATA power connectors. So I got to thinking maybe I want something different. I was looking at this:

I liked it because it has more connectors and is modular which is a plus given the fact that the case is a little cramped and doesn't offer much cable management options.

Any thoughts?

No videocard? You don't even need 500W.

If you don't mind spending the extra money, then the corsair is a fine choice. The OCZ should be able to power all of that just fine as well though.

The OCZ was only $30 after rebate, so I ended up saying oh well and getting the corsair. The OCZ didn't really have great options in terms of power cables - only 3 SATA connectors on one chain is not very useful. The Corsair I got is modular and has many more options.
