Its been a long time since I built my last computer. I am still running a single core processor with 2 gbs of ram. I am currently in the process of buying pieces for my next build. So far I have the case, motherboard, processor, and video card. I already have the other pieces picked out, but haven't purchased them yet.

Anyway, I am not sure what power supply unit I should get. I don't know how much power I will need. I will list the specific parts I have, and I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could recommend me with a power supply that would be sufficient enough to put out enough power and also be reliable and last for a long time. Thanks

COOLER MASTER RC-692-KKN2 CM690 II Advanced Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Motherboard:
GIGABYTE GA-890GPA-UD3H AM3 AMD 890GX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard

Processor:

If you will be using it only for gaming then the above suggestions will be the ones you should with.

And the PSU daisymtc linked is an awesome PSU.

I am not sure if I will need 16 or not. I am going to start with 8 and so if there is a need for 16. I am going to be doing alot of audio recording at high bit rates, running a lot of plug-ins and so forth, so their may be a need for 16.

you won't need 16GB RAM.
spend the extra $100 on video card to GTX 570

I suggest you got core i5 2500K + P67 mobo

PSU - XFX 650w

I already purchased the AMD processor and Gigabyte motherboard. Like I mentioned above, I will be running alot of audio plug-ins and recording multiple audio tracks and such, so I may need more RAM than you might think. I will also be gaming on it moderately, however I do most of my gaming on the PS3. Thanks for the suggestion on the PSU, I am looking into that one.
