A good quality 450W to 500W or better PSU. Such as the Corsair VX450 or VX550. If your looking for modular cables then the HX520 would fit the bill nicly. Now i get the feeling that this will be outside your current budget. But you need to have a good quality PSU for that system.

Drop the q6600 for a e8400 if you need to save some money. A 450vx can be had for 50$ AR at buy.com
