Yet Another What Power Supply thread

[blackangst1]

So, Im building a new system. Currently I have an Antec Earthwatts 500w, and looking to upgrade as I believe I will need it (the rails are at minimum requirements for the GTX260 now); however, I dont want to go overboard.

What Im putting together:

i7 930, slight OC, not alot maybe to 3-3.2 or so
Aftermarket CPU cooler, havent decided which one yet.
MSI X58 E Pro mobo
2 SATA drives
1 SSD drive
1 DVD/CDRW combo drive
GTX260 vid card
Approx 2-3 USB devices

The two I was looking at are the OCZ Fata1ity 550W, or the OCZ ModXStream Pro 600W (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-017-_-Product).

Im open to others, but one requirement is modular. What say you?

Your current PSU is better quality than either of those, and plenty of power for your new system.

Keep the Antec.

If looking at Modular, then get antec tp new 650 or corsair hx650(although mine makes a grinding noise on arrival but seller is cross shipping it to me now).

Those are recommendations if you insist on modular. Otherwise, your current psu is good.
