I have poured over the forums here and I "think" I finally know what I'm looking at when it comes to a PSU. To be honest I’m still a bit confused so I figure little additional input never hurt anyone.
I’m looking at a new build and I want to use this case.

I have used this case in the past and it is a GREAT case. The power supply that comes with it looks like it "might" just cut it for my intended system but I’m still not sure. Below is my intended build.
MSI P6N motherboard w/650I chipset
C2D E6600 (intend to over clock to 3.0 or 3.2 maximum)
8800 GTS 320 meg version
2x Seagate SATA 160 Gig HD's
1 Lite-on DVD-RW
Memory:
I’m still undecided on memory but I won’t be pushing for the moon with it. I have looked at everything from A-Data to WINTEC. Since I won’t be doing massive overclocking I don’t think its going to make a huge impact on the PSU. I’m looking to the forums for ideas here.
My secondary option for power would be to use my old case and go with this power supply,
Antec True Power Trio TP3-550 ATX12V 550W.
Although this PSU does appear in the list I think it might be over kill as i really don’t intend to go with SLI. If i can ever get to the point where i can afford two monster graphic cards then I can get a new PSW.
Please let me know what you think and thanks for any input.
