PSU and overall new build help please!

Hi - This is my first new build and before I start I want to say thanks to all of the forum topics that have helped me put my build together.

I'm having an issue with which PSU to go for and if I need an ATX or ATX V12 PSU. I would also really appreciate it if you could point out any really obvious mistakes I've made or any improvements to my build for a gaming PC (Skyrim/ bioshock infinite etc).

Spec below:

Thanks

ATX and 12V ATX are the same. For your build, I recommend this PSU -

XFX XXX series 650w 80+ Bronze certified Semi-Modular PSU - http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1650xxxb9 - £75,71 @ CCL

Thanks very much for the speedy reply. Is there any reason you wouldn't go for the Corsair 600W?

The XFX unit I recommended is of better quality, as it is made by Seasonic. In fact, all of XFX's units are made by Seasonic and are currently the best value PSUs avaliable, IMO. Though The Corsair CX 600 is better value, you cannot beat the quality of the XFX units.

Thanks very much - XFX it is then.
