Help with memory and power supply

[bbqdude]

Ok so I thought I had my system figured out until this morning when I received a email from Newegg with some 24 hour specials. I am trying to figure out if the on sale items would be a better deal than the items that were recommended to me on this forum since they are on sale now. Also keep in mind I am a first time builder and here is my MOBO CPU combo.

The forum recommendations are better options. That Crucial RAM is slow CAS 9 1333MHz while the G.Skill RAM is considerably faster CAS 7 1600MHz.

The Antec Basiq (BP) power supplies are not to the quality standards of the rest of their power supplies. I would pick the EA-430D over the BP550 any day. The BP550 isn't even 80+ certified, while the EA-430D is 80+ Bronze certified. The 430W PSU is also a much higher quality unit.

i agree with shortstuff here, G-Skill Ripjaw & EA-430D
