Newbbuilder11, I'd advise against it, it's not needed. Earthwatts series as a whole is very good quality, there's no need for going with 700W+ models, the list you provided is very accurate but not nearly complete, it was last updated a long time ago (Nov'13).

Here's Jhonnyguru's review of 650W model:

^9 is a very good score indeed.


Guess i'm behind on the times ;-;.... I guess it's a go ahead, but it was just a suggestion.

This list should help you out :) 

The Earthwatt's is good, but I suggest the 700 watt version, reason behind this is that Earthwatts series (Only from 700 Watts and up) are rated to be tier 2A, if you want the best value and overall performance I would follow the list :)

Antec is good quality unit, avoid CX, they're low quality, use cheap caps. Either of the Antecs will power up the rig just fine, buy the one you can get cheaper.

Either of the Antecs would be my choice both are big enough so comes down to price.
