2gb corsair xms
3800+ x2
7800gtx
raptor in the future

i realized my power supply that i planned on using isn't what i thought it was .. 350watts .. 12a on the 12v rail. i'm thinking that def. won't do?

i was looking at this psu:

looks good to me, however i don't want to spend nearly that much. would you recommend that psu?

what other power supplies would you recommend, ideally cheaper than that?

Amps look good... does it have the cables you need? Also check reviews for stability and noise and stuff.

500w ultra x-connect or x-finity psu can be found at a relatively good price at frys and look pretty good. I got my x-connect for about $35 after rebate. It works great with my setup but the uv lighting stopped working.
