New PSU

Hey all. I'm looking for a new power supply for my computer in my sig.
Basic specs:
Q6600 G0
eVGA 680i mobo
eVGA 8800GTS 512mb
2gb RAM (2 dimms)
Plus peripherals, etc...

My current PSU is an Antec TP3-550, and while I haven't had any major power issues, I get the feeling that it's not really enough...

Here are some PSU's I was looking at. My case is an Antec P180B, so obviously I would like my cables to be nice and long. Modular cabling is not a requirement, but definately a huge plus.

In addition, this one has a rebate and I also have a promo code for it, which brings the final price down to about $130...however, it is longer than a standard ATX PSU so I would need to remove the fan in my case for the PSU. Also I hear that the cable for the CPU power is a tight fit. But, it is a really good price:

Also, ZipZoomFly has a sale on a CoolerMaster, but they don't publish as many specs, so I don't know as much abaout it:

So if you guys could give feedback on those PSU's, that'd be awesome.

dont get coolermaster. I would stick to Antec, OCZ, and PC Power and cooling for PSUs.

If your current PSU is 550W and an Antec, you're fine. You aren't running two GPUs or anything. I wouldnt upgrade

It'll be a good PSU, Yeah.

But take a look at either the Corsair HX520 or the HX620... They're both great, and modular ;)

A very solid PSU at a very attractive price, although you don't really need it for your system.

As always, take a look at http://www.computerforum.com/90117-ceewi1-s-psu-recommendations.html. Most of it's still pretty current. The Corsair's a great offer, I'd also consider the Coolermaster 850W (currently 129.99) or Silverstone ST75ZF or ST85ZF. A tough call between those and the Corsair, they all have their own advantages/disadvantages.
