Hey everyone,

I am putting together a pc for my dad and was wondering what power supply to get.
Here is the list of components so far:

CPU: Intel i5-2500k
Motherboard: ASRock Z68 PRO3-M LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
RAM: CORSAIR XMS3 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 Desktop Memory Model
Graphics Card: Evga 8800 gt (can't find a link to newegg)
Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
CD/DVD Burner: ASUS 24X DVD Burner
Case: LIAN LI PC-A04B

I was thinking of putting an Antec BP550 Plus 550W Continuous Power ATX12V V2.2 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply into the system. Would this be enough? Should I go for a 600w or 650w power supply?

Thanks a bunch guys. I think I'm going to have fun putting this one together. Never worked with a Lian Li case before.

I was thinking with a rig that simple even the Antec EA380G should be fine. The 8800GT is a 110W(ish) part, so you don't need a lot of power. The Antec you listed should be fine, but you can get a more efficient PSU if you want.
