Hi guys,i am building a gaming computer for my son and need some advice on a power supply to fire the beast up.

here is the list of the components so far.

corsair carbide 200r
gigabyte ga-z77-d3h
corsair vengence 8gb ddr3 1600mhz
core i5 3570k ivy bridge
seagate barracuda 2tb hdd
asus geforce gtx 660ti
w-7 home premium


so far i have thought of the antec high current gamer 750 watt and corsair gs700 watt,what do you guys think as i don't want to pay mega dollars for a psu but your help would be greatly appreciated.

Get a 500w-600w PSU from Antec, XFX, Corsair, Seasonic.

This is what I would recommend: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207013&Tpk=xfx%20550

It will power this system perfectly.

A 500W quality psu is more than enough for the system, here's some quality psus :

It's good, but i rather get the gigabyte ga-z77x-d3h or asrock z77 extreme 4 for a board.
Also if he plans to overclock the cpu, get an aftermarket cooler like the cm hyper 212 evo.
