The Antec Earthwatts is a better quality PSU, plus it has plenty of power for this system. So I say go for it too!

I've only heard of good things from the Antec Earthwatts series, but the cooler master power supplies are not bad either. I trust Antec more, so I would choose Antec over the Cooler Master.

i think maybe get the extreme power 650 watt then it gives you a lot of overclocking room and you can run multiple cards. but you will be ok with the earth watts aswell, i have seen good reviews of that series
