You could save a bit by going with another motherboard:

A 850w psu? Do you really need Gold rated? That's major overkill. A good bronze rated 600w would be overkill. That's really an unbelievable price on a Gold 850w, but that's because RAidmax makes junk, actually they don't make them, some company called Andyson makes them.

A big clue that it's not very good is the warranty of 2yrs, any other Gold rated psu will have 5-7yrs warranty.

There's no good deals on PSU's right now though, so wait a few days, something good that I can recommend will come up.

Don't forget that I am planning to overclock, so that might take up a bit more power. I was also thinking of a brand called thermaltake, are they any good?

It's obvious your going to overclock.......already considered

A 600w psu would be more than enough.

Thermaltake is crap too. Stick with XFX, Corsair, Antec, OCZ (ZS or better), Seasonic, FSP.
