I am building my own computer and so far this is what i am getting

Intel i5 2500k
ATI Radeon 5870 1GB
Asus P8P67 PRO Intel P67 (Socket 1155) MOBO
Antec 300 Three Hundred Ultimate Gaming Case

I will also get probably get a 500GB HDD
and 4GB DDR3 RAM

Would anyone like to recommend me a silent PSU that comes with all the cables to run all these. Thanks

Corsair is what I'm using. Love it. Had a Thermaltake before and it quite on me, started squealing, after a few months. get something with at least 750watts or better with that load I should think. I would suggest this one (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139022). I like the single rail. It's quite too, that's the one I'm currently using.
 
A quality 550w would be more than enough, but if you want room to overclock and upgrade the video card later on go with a high quality 650w. If you plan on overclocking and going with TWO high end video cards in the future, go with a high quality 850w.

Hard to make a recommendation without knowing your intentions.
