I am looking at putting together a new PC, mostly to do 2D CAD work.
I have decided to give the SB onboard GPU a try before I add a discrete card. I have a feeling it is going to be plenty good enough for this work PC with no gaming, and I have the option of adding a discrete card at a later stage.
I have settled on these major components - 2700k, MSI Z68A-GD65 (G3) and GeIL Evo CORSA (2x4GB) RAM.
I need help selecting a PSU though. I know the CX500 is highly rated, but I am looking at the Antec HCG-520 rather.
It is only R70 more than than the CX500, but is more efficient and has a 135cm cooler rather than a 120cm.

Any thoughts on the Antec over the Corsair?
