Ok im back again ive found two psu's and trying to find out the best to buy the two are,
1. Coolermaster eXtreme Power 650W (RP-650-PCAR) for $121 aus

2. Antec NeoHE 500W energy-efficient - $143 aus
Intel E6300

Gigabyte ga-965P-DS3

Corsair xms2 2gb pc6400 cas5

samsung 940b monitor

Seagate 160gb HDD SataII

Antec Nine Hundred case

Leadtek 7950gt 256mb

Logitech g-11, G5 kb/m

Besides the fact that one is 650w and one is 500w what is the main differnce because for a 650w it's $20 cheaper then a antec 500w

The only thing I could see that would make the Antec's price higher is that it has a higher efficiency rating than the Cooler Master(85% vs 70) and has 3 12v rails while the CM has 2, which is no big deal. I'd go with the Cooler Master, more power.

Antec are one of the most reliable brands for PSU's they are high quality and the peak power on that 500W would be around 650 anyways....

although i would prob pick the coolermaster 650........

CoolerMaster's get good reviews everytime I read something about them (not saying Antec doesn't but I dunno if they do or not) plus it has more power. I'd personally go with the first one.

*Edit:* are you ever actually going to build your system
You've been asking building/component questions for the last 2 weeks, lol

After all this you better take some damned good pics for us when you get it all together.
