Will the PSU support the Build?

Yes the PSU will provide enough power for the system. As for your concern about wasting power, just because it's rated at 700W doesn't mean it's always drawing that much. Lastly, it seems like you're picking a lot of last generation products - any particular reason for the slow HDD, and the old socket processor/motherboard?

That PSU is more than enough for your build...
But it will be useful if you overclock it...

It may also prove useful for upcoming builds.

So I say Buy it!

Thanks for the replies guys
The reason I am picking the motherboard is that I am CHEAP
It was one of the reasonably priced ones that had a lot of good ratings in Newegg.com
Like I said, this is my first build so I don't know much about the parts except whether they will fit together or not.
If you can suggest any other MB that fits my $700-$750 budget then i would GREATLY appreciate it

About the PSU, I do in the future plan to upgrade the ram (once the cheap 4 GB sticks are out)
also maybe upgrade the video card. so thats why i picked the PSU. Also the PSU running at 50% capacity means it will be safe during sudden peak demands so this should be a perfect PSU for me

Thanks for the quick replies

Wow I just googled FSU Epsilon PSU and saw a few posts saying not to get any FSP Epsilon over 500W
is there a reason for this? or r u speaking for personal experience?

hmm yeah the article does make it seem like FSP is crap. how do i know if the PSU i pick is an FSP Epsilon PSU. i checked my PSU on newegg and it does not mention FSP or Epsilon anywhere
or is FPS an alternative name for OCZ

someone else suggested that i get these combos instead of my original build
they look to be even more awesome than my original parts an still be in budget
