I am in the process of building a new computer. I can list the specifics if needed, but I was just curious what Power Supply I should be getting. This was recommended to me by the guy who is going to build my computer and it is what I was going to order, but before I do, is there a better one I should be getting for the same price (or cheaper)?

Here's the rest of the setup:

Case Antec P180

Motherboard GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard

Processor Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz 6MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor

Video Card HIS Hightech H487QT1GP Radeon HD 4870 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported IceQ 4+ Turbo Video Card

Memory G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory

After the mail in rebate this come to 59$ You won't find anything that come even remotely close to that for the price.
In fact even before the mail in rebate (100$ range) you won't find something close to this.

Buy it.

Edit--
Ok and why a Core 2 Duo?

Get a Core I7!

PC power and cooling makes some great PSU's too. Had mine for 3 years now of nonstop every day use and only recently has it started to buzz faintly even when the puter is off.

I ought to buy one of these too lol..

Excellent choice.

That PSU will blow any equivalently priced (before OR after MIR) out of the water.

Thanks, I got one. The start of my new computer!

shipped really fast too for free shipping.

Thanks for the input, mine is ordered as well.

I just bought one of these PSUs for my new i7 build. Should be in today.

Glad you posted that link, 750w for $70, tough to beat that.

Ordered the same one from NCIX cause Newegg Canada suck. Thank you Geforce GTX295 for making me buy yet more computer parts...

I got it in 2 days. Not too shabby for free shipping.

OCZ really drags their feet on rebates.. they are sending mine out in the next two weeks

After 2 months I got a card that said my invoice didn't show where I purchased it, So I sent back a copy of the same invoice I sent the first time with Newegg highlighted in 3 places then 2 1/2 months more for them to approve it.

Actually I expected them to try and refuse the rebate altogether so I am pleasantly surprised.
