Going to be building a pc soon. either q6600 or e8400 OC'ed. 8800GTS card.

Right now I have this power supply:
CORSAIR CMPSU-550VX 550W
http://www.newegg.com/product/prod [...] 6817139004

which is is $85 after MIR + another $10 for shipping = $95


but I was looking and noticed this one:
COOLER MASTER Real Power Pro RS-650-ACAA-A1 650W
http://www.newegg.com/product/prod [...] 6817171023

which is is $100 after MIR with free shipping.


So, for like $5 more can go from the 550W to the 650W power supply. I probably don't need more than the 550W, but for just $5 more wondering if I should just go ahead and get the 650W.
