Hello, thank you both greatly for the builds, I only have one question is there another psu you would recommend other then the XFX it's pretty hard to get here in Australia? Other then that I am still deciding on which is best for me :)

Antec 520W High Current Gamer @ 99AUD as the cheapest option, but it has only 5 SATA connectors (one less than the 6 SATA ports available on the motherboard). If you don't think you're gonna use all the SATA ports, it'll be good enough.

Preferably, if you want all the room to support any future upgrade possible, then get the 620W version.

The HCG line from Antec is OEMed by Seasonic, essentially a modification of the Seasonic M12II line.

Also, it's semi-modular so it's gonna help against the N300 which while offer good airflow, provides little in term of wire management.
