I am putting together a new build that will be used for video editing and converting as well as VOB playback. Here are some of the build specs:

The case will be an Antec 1200

CPU: Intel Core i7-930 2.8GHz 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1366 Quad-Core Desktop Processor - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115225

MOBO:GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128423

I am still searching for a suitable Video card. since newegg is having st patricks day sale I beieve I will find a decent one soon. I wont be doing any gaming so a good card with HDMI output will get me by. If you have any suggestions please feel free to advise me.

Here's where my issue popped up. Initiall I was going to get the Antec 850w which came in a combo deal with the Antec 1200 case. But because of the St Patricks day sale, newegg has posted a 1000w Rosewill PSU for $105. I would like to know if Rosewill has better quality PSU's than Antec? I have posted the links associated with both supply's below.

Im just looking at the antec 850w psu since it comes bundled with the antec 1200 case and I'll get $20 off. Im going to have alot of HD's plugged in so I need as many sata hook-ups as I can get.
