I'm building a new PC soon and was having PSU troubles.
I was wondering if I should get a new PSU,If I do it will be this one:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16817185007
Or if I should stick with the stock one in my current case the raidmax sagitta for a while:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811156180
Or should I get one of these:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817104953
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817104954
My new PC will be a Core 2 Build including an E6600,P5b Deluxe,and an X800GTO video card.

A new high-end PC with a $40 power supply? Come on :p

None of those are very good choices, to be honest.

This is an excellent choice.

You might look at the Seasonic S12's if price is a major consideration...

I would consider these PSU as a good beginning option if you need something in the higher mid-range PSUs.
ENERMAX FMA II, EG565P-VE, 535W, 2 fans, SLI Yes, PFC Active, 20+4pin, 80% efficient @ $110.00
SEASONIC S12-550, 550W, 1 fan, SLI Yes, PFC Active, 20+4pin, 88% efficient @ $130.00

If these are more than what you consider affordable, then this maybe suitable.
ENERMAX Liberty ELT500AWT, 500W, 1 fan, SLI Yes, PFC No, 20+4pin, 80% efficient @ $90.00

You need better to work what you got listed to build. As Pabster noted, I agree that you really need a better PSU.

500W Enhance ENP would be good. Could handle the x800 in crossfire if you wanted. If you're not planning on any crossfire then the 400W Enhance ENP 80+ is a good buy.

Like the pcp&c silencer, the corsair is built by Seasonic but instead of a three year
warrenty, it has a five year warrenty. If the 520 is not enough, corsair offers a 620.

That or the 500W Enhance that dBTelos suggested if he wants to save a few bucks. (I wish newegg carried Enhance units)

The keyword being LIKE-- they are not similar nor are they the same! The only thin g they have in common is that Seasonic does good contract work for other PSU suppliers!!
