Hey so i know the minimum i need for my new build is 620 Watt, but i have no idea which one to get.  I am either putting it in an antec 900 case or the antec p182 case.  I know both of these have problems with power supply cables not being long enough, so i was wondering what would be a good power supply for this.  Keep in mind this is a budget build, so i am hoping for not going over 130 for the psu.  Also are there any good modular for this price to clear up some cables?

Hi
 
I am helping a friend buildup an Antec P182 case. The Hiper 780Watt PSU is expensive but one of the cheapest Tier 2 PSU's  
(http://www.xtremesystems.org/forum [...] p?t=108088) I am aware of. It fits in the P182 case - just!!
 
BTW I am refering to:
http://www.ebuyer.com/search/?intS [...] atUID=1585
for pricing which will of course be different in the USA!!
 
The Enermax Liberty range are cheaper and also Tier 2. I am currently playing with a 400Watt model for another build for a guy at work. However the modular cables aren't quite as neat as the Hiper range.
 
You can of course get something cheaper... But the PSU is not where you should be saving money.
