hi everyone

im trying to build a decent budget gaming rig, something no more that 630$
so far i found these specifications:

Raidmax hybird 730W Modular Sata/Sli Ready
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6817152036

OR
Raidmax Hybrid 530W Modular Sata/Sli Ready
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6817152028
which PSU do you recommend depending on these specs?

XFX nForce 680i LT motherboard
Intel core 2 quad Q6600
EVGA Geforce 9600GT 512MB Graphics card
4gb 800Mhz pc6400 Crucial Ram
Seagate 320gb Sata hard drive

So far these specs cost 610$, i found the Q6600 and the XFX nForce in a bundle for just 200$ i was very suprised to see that, after doing a little search and found that the nForce is a good motherboard, so do u recommend those specs??

P.S this is my first time buying a pc in the U.S so if i buy the mobo&processor are in a bundle, does this mean that i wont get all the cables of the motherboad??

The reason i posted in this section is because i dont know if these specifications are compatible, so are they??

Thanks in advance
Sudad
