Hey guys, I just finished building a pretty sweet 4670K machine. Everything works great, I'm using it to write this post in fact. It's all operating at terrific, cool temperatures. But...It sorta smells. Now, it's not really a burning smell. The only thing I can really liken it to is the smell of new plastic or something. I thought it was just that "new" smell that would go away after a while, but it's been on for a bit longer than an hour now and it's not gone away.

There's no smoke, and everything is operating great and brand new right out the box. I did the smell test and I believe it's coming from my PSU. I have the ANTEC TP-650C R, 650W, gold+. Newegg link: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371072

Any ideas as to what this is? Should I be worried? I'd like to restate that it isn't a burning smell. It's just a fairly strong kind of new smell.
