New build help (again)..

Nate I would really put a little more money into getting a better PSU for your system. If you ever upgarde that system you might just find yourself running out of power and needing to buy a bigger psu in any case.

Ye, you're right but which PSU should I go for?

the antec 850w looks good...

Is this any good? Will it allow for upgrading and be reliable?

No! Do not buy that psu! I have one and it sucks! It's not even a 585w psu, it's like 500w or something

as i mentioned before, go for the coolermaster extreme power 550w. It's a good cheap psu

Actually your PSU still delivers slightly more power than the coolermaster PSU

Good PSUs just aren't cheap unfortunately...

Something like THIS is closer to a real 550W PSU

All I need is a reliable PSU, as I doubt we will be upgrading it...
Will a Vantec 520w do?

I think those vantec ions are pretty decent PSUs although Ive never used one myself.
