Actually I have this system for 850$ before tax

- VENTO TA-863 ATX MID TOWER BLACK, USB2. 80MM FAN
- Thermaltake TR2 500W
- ASROCK H55M-GE SKT.1156 INTEL H55 2PCI/3X PCI-E 4DDR3
- INTEL QUAD CORE I5-760 LGA1156 2.8GHz 8Mo
- KINGSTON 4Go (2 X 2Go) KVR1333D3N9K2/4G
- ASUS EAH5770 CUCORE/2DI/1GD5 #VC-AS-EAH5770/CU
- WD 500Go SATA II 16Mo 7200RPM
 
Like I said in your other thread and in the PM: $850 is a ripoff for that setup considering that you can get this setup:
$320 - Intel Core i5 760 + Asus P7P55 Intel P55 ATX Motherbaord Combo
$97 - G.Skill F3-10600CL9D-4GBNT 2 x 2GB DDR3 1333 RAM
$160 - Powercolor Radeon HD 5770 1GB Video Card
$50 - Western Digital WD5000AAKS 500GB 7200RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
$30 - Samsung SH-S223C 22X DVD Writer
$86 - Antec Neo Eco 520C 520W PSU + Antec VSK2000 ATX Case Combo
---
Total: $733 CAD plus tax and shipping.

Significantly better quality PSU, significantly better case and same exact performance but without any of the cooling or longevity issues that $850 has.

Hell if you want to spend the extra $56 CAD, you can get this faster video card and still be under $800 CAD:
$215 CAD - EVGA GeForce GTX 460 768MB

I want to know if Seasonic SS-600ET 600W OR Coolmaster Extreme Power Plus 600W ATX, would be a good choice for this build ?

Thank you !

Seasonic is the better choice. Only get the Coolermaster if you're an idiot.
