I think a 1000 watts would be overkill you could prolly get away with 800 or so.

Not really, there a rebranded psu, they say ultra, but all ultra does is slap a sticker on them, after they have bought them from whoever. Antec, is a good one, along with a few others, i just cant remember right now. Remember, your power supply if its bad could screw up your whole system, dont try to take any shortcuts here, save money somewhere else.

^ Most PSU brands are just bought from other companies and rebranded. Antec gets theirs from Seasonic and Channelwell Technologies if I recall correctly.
