I just ordered this:

I plan to keep my system on 24/7 and run a gtx 770. I will be overclocking my 3570k so is this PSU fine? I have heard Antec is a good brand so that's why I got it , but now I am having second thoughts. What do you think?

Will be okay, but don't be fooled by the "green" hype. First of all, its only rated Bronze, about the least efficient power supply you can get nowadays. A platinum supply has HALF of the wasted power and heat. I like how they don't include a power cable and say it is to go "green." Cheap bastards.

What PSU would you recommend? I am currently looking at these two:

Both those are fine supplies. Don't get the green one because it is simply a rip off of the ignorant. I am glad you had a bad feeling about it and posted here; good job.

I think I'll get the XFX Core Edition PRO850W. I will also rest assured that I can easily add another GTX 770 later if I want without any power issues. Thanks guys
