Hey. My query is regarding which Power Supply I should use with my setup. As it is, I'm over budget so I'm trying to save as much as I can without losing performance.

This is what I'm planning to purchase within a couple of days:

Intel E8400 3.0Ghz
Intel DQ35JOE
BFG Tech 9800 GTX
Corsair 2x4096 Dominator 800Mhz DDR II
Segate SATA 160GB 7200 RPM
Casing: CHASSIS CM 690
WRT-54G Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router
(I'll run another SATA HD and a DVR RW as well)

So my question is, which one of the following power supplies would be sufficient to run the PC mentioned above?

- Cooler Master (Real Power Pro) 750watts
- Cooler Master Extreme Power 600watts

The Extreme Power 600 is less than half the price of the 750watt PSU here. If the 600 is good enough, I'll save a lot of money but I don't wanna end up with a PSU that can't handle the load.

Advice here would be appreciated. Also, any advice on the rig itself would be appreciated as well.

Thanks.

The Real Power Pro is a a much better PSU.

are those your only options though? You could easily run that on a Corsair VX550

You are also using some rather expensive RAM there.

Also...why a Q35 motherboard? You have a mid-tower case you don't need a micro-atx motherboard. I wouldn't be suprised if the 9800GTX wouldn't fit on it..the RAM might get in the way.
