Which psu is the best for my rig

[jonno-king]

i5 3570k

possibly cooler master 212 evo if needed

gigabyte gtx 660 2gb or evga 660 super clocked

ddr3 1600 mhz x2 240 unbuffered

seagate 1.5tb 5900rpm 64mb cache

win 7 64 bit

NZXT phantom red (not 410)0r (810)

gigabyte Ga-Z77-D3H SOCKET 1155 VGA HDMI 8

the psi i had in mind was a corsair cx600W but would this be enough or would i need to go up to cors air gaming series 700W

p.s i haven't bought all of this rig yet so if there are any upgrades or compatability issues please let me know. using for medium gaming. e.g guild wars 2 day z

The corsair 600W is a good choice. Corsair are a good brand and it is unlikely to blow up or fail like some other cheap PSUs. The GTX660 is a great GPU, definitely get one that has a different cooler from the reference design. The EVGA one is not a great cooler and sounds like a jet engine, but the Gigabyte Windforce cooler is much quieter and provides much better cooling for the card. If you can fund it, the XFX Core 650W is a great PSU with a 5 year warranty. You could get away with a 550W PSU, but just in case you plan on upgrading to a better GPU in 2 or 3 years, the 600/650 will give you much more headroom. If you don't plan to overclock, or only overclock slightly, the Arctic Freezer Pro 7 Rev. 2 is a great CPU cooler.

good solid rosewill powersupply cheaper and just as good, 49$ after mir.

i try to stay away from the cx line as it components arent as solid as the rest of the corsair ps lines.
