Okay.

If you aren't going to listen to us, and you already have everything set in your mind, why are you asking us?!

By the way, there is MUCH more to a PSU than wattage rating. You don't want to have a power supply that is going to cause trouble (not just in not providing enough power). If a PSU fails, it has the potential to damage other components.

And, I assume you aren't overclocking....

The psu he has listed has dual 12V+ rails and 39A total, how much more do you need?

Exactly! And I don't know why everyone is complaining to me. In the very first post I said this was primarily a budget build set at $600. Everyone is yelling "OMG SPEND MORE MONEY" and they're surprised when I turn them down. They want me to spend $150 more for a %15 faster video card? Everyone is missing the point of this build. IT'S CHEAP! And it still performs. If you can afford your 8800 GT and your super fancy $100 power supply then go for it. This is for the rest of us who want to play newer games but aren't expecting girls to get turned on by our expensive hardware.
