Greetings, I'm planning on building my first computer (for gaming). At this point, I've obtained most of the parts. I still need to get a graphics card and of course, the power supply. I heard about people buying them only to fail soon after. So, I want to purchase the most appropriate one on the first try. I'm kind of confused about power levels, pins and constant power usage, etc. Here's a list of what have now (*) and what I still need (X). This power supply seems to get mixed reviews and is 600W, not sure if that's good or bad for me. I'm now looking at...

So, what do you think? Thanks for the help!
