Hello,

I am trying to put a system together and these are what I am considering to put in:

Intel Core i5 750 Quad-Core Socket LGA1156
Asus P7P55D LE Socket 1156 Intel P55 Chipset CrossFireX
Asus ENGT220/DI/1GD2(LP) nVidia GeForce GT 220 Chipset
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series DDR3 1333MHz (PC3-10666) 4GB (2x2GB)
dvd burner
HardDrive Western Digital Caviar Blue (WD5000AAKS) 500GB

in addition there will be a few fans on the case and a couple of usbs connected all the time

Could you help me decide on a PSU now?? I have this one in mind:
OCZ ModXStream Pro 600W Power Supply (OCZ600MXSP)

I am just not sure if it will provide enough current as the 12V1 rail only provides 25amps?? I don't want to spend more $60-$65 max on the PSU.

Thanks in advance

That's a bigger PSU than you need. That OCZ PSU doesn't have a very good rep. You can get a 600W Antec in the neighborhood of $60 at NewEgg. Or Corsair if you're willing to rely on a rebate.
