Hi there, i need a suggestion for what PSU will work for this setup :

BIOSTAR TPower I45 LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard

G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1000 (PC2 8000) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-8000CL5D-4GBPQ

Ive been looking at this Corsair PSU : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139001 , but i am wondering if this PSU will work with the setup, or if anyone has a better recommendation. Thanks in advance.

I built almost the same exact rig you did (q6600, biostar tforce tp45HP, radeon 4670, 4 gb patriot 800mhz DDR2 ram (2x2), seagate 500 gb 7200 rpm HD, samsung dvd burner with lightscribe) and it was rolling along just fine with a generic POS 550 Rhycom psu I had lying around. The corsair PSU you're looking at should cover your needs...HOWEVER:

This is the Antec PSU I'm currently using. It's quiet, semi-modular, pulls 650 watts, ships free, and is 50 dollars off right now (140 to 90 dollars - cheaper than the corsair you mentioned). The extra headroom will be nice if you plan on upgrading in the future. I recommend this psu instead of the corsair, especially at this price.
