The Antec PSU is the way to go.

And YA You can get HD 4870 instead of GTS250.

Neither of those PSUs is 80+ certified, although the Antec was recently reviewed favorably at hardwaresecrets.com. Either will be enough, and I'd also choose the Antec, or stretch the budget a little for an 80+ bronze certified Antec Truepower New.

Is it possible to unlock the fourth core in that? I remember reading somewhere that up to this point people haven't figured it out, but that might have been an old article and I can't remember for the life of me where I found it. I'm not saying it's not possible, I just don't know.

ive heard it is by many people but u have to have a mobo that support aac or acc or something, which the mobo im getting does so it should work

There seem to be no independent, qualified reviews for the Antec "Continuous Power". In fact, this psu seems to be a rebadged "Basiq". If so, that line is adequate but, unlike "Eartwatts" and other series, is not one I would call anything but "OK".

Hardwaresecrets just reviewed the 500W Basiq very favorably: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/792/10

It's not a rebadged Basiq, it's a Basiq.
"Continuous Power" is a marketing term that all Antecs are labeled with.

Thanks. I guess they just dropped saying "Basic" with a French accent.

Hey man, with current modern GPUs and other components you can choose PSU at 600-700W and you'll be covered.
As for the brand I trust Enermax and Seasonic, other brands would be good but I only had experience on those 2. Review first the comments on the PSU you are about to buy if it has a good performance.

Good luck.
