Hey guys! Thank you so much for your continued help with my first build! I think I have everything set in stone except two things! (http://pcpartpicker.com/user/rushrage/saved/1Yo6)

#1 Right now I'm using this PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207023&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

But it's a little pricey! Is there a cheaper PSU I could get?

And what Windows 7 package do you recommend I get? The Professional or the Home Premium?

I'm going to use this system for mostly gaming and game recording with a little game dev and video editing on the side.

Thank you sooooooo much for all your guy's help! This would not be possible with out you guys!

IMO the PSU is not where you want to skimp on money. Most of these forums have people with PSU issues. Home edition will work fine for you.

It is not a good idea to skimp out on the PSU and the XFX 750W is quite a good value honestly and will give you some overclocking headroom. Professional is not needed unless you have 16GB of RAM or more, and the other added features are mostly irrelavent and costly, so it is better to stick with Home Premium for money's sake. It might be a good idea to also add a conventional HDD as a second drive.
