First run the PSU calculator to verify your load. Run it as is, and with the additional components that you might be adding i.e., additional graphics card etc.
Edit: Be careful to only set single processor even thought it is a dual core because it is only one socket.

I just ordered this PS it is as solid as a rock and on sale 25% off. It is a little longer, so be sure it will fit your case.

I just got an Antec NEOhe 550 that has module cabling. This is the 500w but for an extra $17 I was able to get the 550

The Corsair 520 is very capable and made by Seasonic! And Modular.

Agreed, either the Antec NeoHE series, or the Corsair 520 will work well with the system listed by OP.

EPS is a power supply specification. That power supply is for ATX motherboards and, at that price, it is the only one to buy. PCpower and cooling specifically does not make power supplies with modular cables due to the potential for resistance in the connections. They also use heavier gauge wire. read their PS myths page. If you can't see the value, then good luck.
