I was thinking of getting the new Antec 630 case -- 300W PSU
or an Antec 635 -- 350W

Or I get it without a power supply and put one in from Fry's.

any suggestions?
 
drives are getting cheaper and cheaper (slowly) so i suggest the strongest PSU you can afford, i just got rid of my 300W for an enermax 431.

431 Watt booty
 
300W will be perfectly adequate...now adays on this board bigger PSU is what the nerds think translates to who has the biggest shlong.
 
The Antec 400w P412 is good. DO NOT get enermax as they have problems providing enough amperage on the 5v rail. The best part about the Antec is that it has pots so that if the voltage drops you can adjust it inside the PS.

Nothing wrong with Enermax, the 350w is now officially on the AMD approved PSU list up to 1.4ghz,I use Enermax &amp; so do my friends all on AMD systems with no problems .

Add the people at AMD with this list of &quot;nerds&quot;. Antec's 300 watt power supply is NOT rated for any AMD CPU over 700 MHz. errrrrrr.....

EDIT: (Good read MEM my bad!!, see below): correction: over 900 MHZ (but most people are buying CPU's 1GHz and above)!!!!
