Hello, I was hoping for suggestiong about which power suuple should I choose? Here is what I think is suitable (I saw reviews of the vid card with more extreme processors use about 350W of power under load so I think 500W is enough): Thanks in advance!

CoolerMaster and NZXT are on tier-5 ("Do not buy" ) on the list that rodney linked. Of the ones you listed, I would probably choose Seasonic if the budget allows. Esit: second choice would be OCZ.

With your computer, not being able to spend $100 a good psu is sad. I would go for the PC P&C 610W, A Seasonic no less than 550W, a Corsair no less than 550W, or a Antec NeoPower no less than 550W. Then again, there is much more than goes into selecting a power supply than just looking at what components you have. How long you want to keep the computer, how much upgrading you are going to do, how long you will have your computer on everyday, etc. |

What is important is the amps that the psu can reliably deliver on the 12v rails, not the watts. It is recommended that a pc with a single 8800gt/gts have a psu with 26a, and a 8800GTX 30a on the 12v rails. I expect the 9800gtx to be in between.

Get a Q6600 instead of a Q9450, there now you have +$100 to add to the budget without harming performance. Unless you are going to be doing some serious encoding with this computer, theres not much reason to get a SSE4 processor over one that only does SSE3. You still need to tell us probably the two most important things: How long you plan on keeping the power supply? and how often it is on per day (24/7?)? |

NOT 24/7 except maybe a few night of downloading etc.
