Which PSU for my system

Hi all.

I'm trying to build a new low/mid budget PC for moderate use (office, internet, moderate gaming) to last me the next few years.

I was planning on getting something like this:

CPU: Intel i3 540
MB: Gigabyte GA-H5511-S2H
Ram: Kingston DDR III 1333 mmhz 2 GB x 2
GPU: Gigabyte ATI 4670 GV-R4672L
HDD: WD Caviar WD 5000AAKS

+

Standard LG DVD RAM


I was wondering what kind of PSU I would need for this system, as cheap as possible to keep the total price down.

I suppose a stock PSU that comes with a cheap case would not be adequate, like one of those cases with PSU here:

Now, I'd have no problems if I lived in the US, however I don't, so my options are limited to these here:

and here:

www.imtec.ba - can't put direct link, go to NAPAJANJA I HLADNJACI -> NAPOJNE JEDINICE on the left menu.


Thanks a lot for your help :)
 
P.S. Please feel free to comment on my proposed system, it would cost around 700 US $ here, or suggest something better from the options I have on those two websites.
 
OCZ StealthXStream 500W
or consair 400W (only if you will not upgrade video card in future)
THERMALTAKE V3 is good. Or you can just choose a dirt cheap case

Actually the Corsair 400w is gonna output more overall power than the 500W StealthXStream or Thermaltake units, and will easily handle a GPU up to about a GTS250.

What do you mean, a dirt cheap case with or without PSU (I suppose without, but just checking anyways)?
Click to expand...

Case power supplies are rubbish, if you get a case that has a PSU, toss it. Most cases do not come with a power supply in the first place however, so you should be fine.
 
Well... most case power supplies are rubbish... if you find a reputable brand like Antec that has a case power supply, it may be worth minding.
