Please help me to choose a proper Power Supply, to the following build:

CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz
CPU Cooler: Zalman CNPS5X Performa
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-H77M-D3H LGA 1155
Memory: Corsair 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR3 CMZ8GX3M2A1600C8 1600Mhz CL8
Storage (HDD): Western Digital Caviar Black 1000GB WD1002FAEX
Storage (SSD): Crucial M4 CT128M4SSD2 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
Computer Case: NZXT Source 210 Elite Black Steel

"Switching Regulated Power supply" is out of the question, because the high EMF radiation. (see this link http://www.conradbiologic.com/articles/%20LowEMFComputing.html )
So, there are still 2 options:
1. "Linear Regulated Power supply"
2. "Linear Unregulated Power supply"

Does both of these are appropriate here?

Please advise me a specific model of Power Supply for this build.

A 350 Watt PSU will not be able to power these components properly. Better go with at least 500 Watts. That will also help you add any additional components without having to disconnect any other.

@adam92,

Do you realize at all that the article you posted is utter nonsense. All descent and safe for operation power supplies made in the last 10 years are Switching Regulated Power supply and in Europe it is the regulation to use PFC or Power Factor Correction.

You will not find any linear PSUs anymore.

The article that you posted is completely ridiculous.

Using a vacuum cleaner for 5 minutes will transfer to you more EMF than your computer for 5 years.

I have found this "Linear PSU":

Do you think it is suitable for the spec?

That is ridiculous concerns. The PSU is encased in a nice solid metal box. The computer case is another solid metal box. The range of the pulses does not extend outside of the PC case. All the metal in there is to contain the magnetic field.

Linear power supplies have been made illogical for a reason. They are not safe. And no, that Xilence PSU is outdated and not compatible with modern tech.

Do you own a cell phone? I guess you do. Having a 5 minute conversation on a cellphone will EMF your brain more than a computer in 50 years.
