What?!?! Comparing Antec, one of the top power supply brands, to a mediocre brand like Rosewill??!?! I guarantee that the Antec BP550 Plus is far more stable and reliable than the Rosewill RX630-S-B. Any Antec to Rosewill comparison is ridiculous. Rosewill isn't high on the list of power supply brands, and Antec is along with Corsair, PC P&C, Thermaltake, and OCZ.

Where's your data supporting the reliability or lack there of on either power supply? I've personally had 8-11 builds , all Rosewill, without a single failure. It's certified energy efficient, which many high mighty Antecs are not, and delivers more for less. Largely you're paying extra for the ability to say "well your mediocre Rosewill holds nothing to my Antec, or Corsair, or TT, or OCZ; even though it's cheaper, and certified, and reliable."

that pc will probably use about 300W on average, maybe 350. so i would recommend a quality 500ish just for headroom or potential upgrades.
