What gets me is how the evga box says I need 400w. But their site says I need 350w.

Its.. purplexing.

eh, i would just get 500> just 2 have the extra power. the more watts u have avalible the more stable your system

I forgot to put down the power supply. I think I'm getting an Antec 550w

Antec PSU's are okay. Decent, but they don't have much.

 

[Lord Mythirion]

I really don't know anything about PSU. I don't know good companies or sleeving(whatever that is)

 

[alvino]

Seasonic, FSP Group, OCZ, PowerPC & Cooling, Zippy and a whole bunch of other companies make REALLY nice ones. FSP Group has the AX500 PSU for $89.99 at the Egg. It's really nice...completely sleeved with EZ-Molex connectors and the build quality is very nice.

What's sleeving?

 

[Half Evil]

Its where all the cords are covered in a... sleeve.

 

[Lord Mythirion]

Why bother doing that?

The wires are sleeved in strechable nylon coverings. What it does is make the wires easier to manage, airflow is slightly improved as all the wires aren't splayed all over the place, and the most important thing is that your PSU will look nice and pretty, instead of resembling some colored vomit from drunk Teletubbies on a hangover.
