The Seasonic 650W is way better than the Rosewill 600W. The efficiency is better, and the power way sufficient.

MSI may have a slightly better cooler and is cheaper, but it doesn't have the level of customer support or the step-up program Evga has.

How about this PSU?  It has a modular cabling feature that the other Seabring didn't.

Same wattage, same manufacturer, just cheaper with more features.

Or a 700W unit from Coolmax that is $99 after MIR.

I really like the idea of modular cables, but have never tried it.

The Seasonic you linked has only 500w.

Coolmax is a bad brand.

See this.

Any Seasonic S12 is good, but the one I linked you has better efficiency.

Alright then, this Enermax?  Was on your list under Tier 2.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6817194004
Not as much power as your Seabring, but how much do I need?  I'm not sure how to calculate it.

Edit:  Or this 650W Antec.

I do appreciate all the help BTW.

Your welcome.

The 650w Seasonic is just as much as those two, has better efficiency, and a better rating.

I know they are all Tier 2, but the Seasonic is frankly a better PSU. Unless you are looking for modular, I guess. Is it really that important?

But if it is, this is a really good modular PSU.

A 650W Seasonic would be fine.

This is a much better PSU to get.

An Evga card would would also be a good idea.
This one?

You're welcome.

Yeah, the 650W.

Edit:  Brought my first order down below $1,000 with shipping and before MIRs.

BTW, should I wait for the E8400 C2D to come in or get the Conroe?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6819115028

It's more, but I don't have any idea how long it takes for Newegg to get shipments.  If it's weeks, I would be glad to pay more.

The E6850 is a terrible ripoff regardless of the E8400 existing.

Wait for the E8400 and you will be much happier.
