Antec EA650 - a lot of power but the price was right... maybe you'll use all that power in the next build.

Everything is compatible, but that PSU is a POS. See that little red switch on the back? That's a very bad thing. That means the PSU doesn't have active PFC. It's also only rated at about 70% efficiency. You don't need a high wattage PSU for that system. It would be a much better idea to get a QUALITY lower wattage unit like this one:

Corsair CX400W Power Supply
http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4236686&CatId=5430 $72.99 - $20 MIR

www.newegg.ca has it for considerably cheaper.

CORSAIR CMPSU-400CX

You are paying too much and the PSU could be better. CM is not usually a good choice for PSUs.

You can also get the CM 690 for less:
