Try the UD3R. Only costs a bit more.

That PSU is awful cheap. Can you stretch to a Corsair 550VX for $59 after rebate? Will give you a lot more for your money. Corsair is THE elite brand of PSU's.

And get a cheap HD 4870 for $116 after MIR.

Thanks for that UD3R mobo combo deal. The corsair is really expensive and over my budget. The XCLIO power supply got great reviews on newegg.

Get the UD3R, 10 Phase power vs 6 phase on the cheaper Giga.

I understand about the PSU. It's often the best place to cut costs when you need to. What did you think about the video card I threw at you?

I would not get that power supply...do not skimp on it.

Get this

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139008

It will power that system fine, seeing you picked the 4770.

Ah., good find. I have a 750W for my sig rig, but I know it's way excessive.

Also, to the OP, you could cut costs on that HDD. Try this one at Buy.com.

BTW, what state are you in? Is sales tax an issue?

The 4770 Recommended is 450 watts. I'm going to upgrade later to a direct x11 card when prices drop. I’m sure the new cards will be power hungry so I’m just going to buy a pretty strong power supply now.
