Hey, recently was looking into buying a pre-built PC and noticed I could get a lot more by building it. Luckily, I know how to put one together and really am loving this little build that I customized from a base idea from enemy1g.

Specs include:

AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor $109.99

Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard $79.99

G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory $57.99

Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive $61.23

EVGA GeForce GTX 660 3GB Video Card $234.99

Antec One ATX Mid Tower Case $39.99

Corsair CX 430W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply $44.99

Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer $17.98

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit) 89.99


Total: $751
Total (on NewEgg, where I'll be buying it all from) is: $775



Overall I'm looking to see if
A) You guys think this will be a decent power supply to handle this and
B) If there is anything else you would improve upon

My budget is to keep it below $800

That looks pretty good too, that is probably your winner.

[strike]Any idea on a specific one? Maybe a 600w? Trying to keep this under like $790 lol. And PCpartpicker says approximately 340 watts.[/strike]

Not expensive, and good reviews, 72% efficiency. Think this would work?
