First up, power supply. I have no plans to go with multiple video cards, so I figure a ~500W power supply should be sufficient. What's my best option for around $100? I see the Antec Neo Eco units recommended here pretty regularly - are these good enough for overclocking?

I plan on buying this RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231314. Can anyone confirm that the G Skill Ripjaws RAM I've picked out will fit under the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU cooler on this motherboard?

If you really won't use more than one GPU then you already know that you don't need to spend $100 for a PSU. You could get by just fine with a 500w unit.

But since you said $100, I was just browsing on Newegg and I saw this. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182264

For a modular Gold 750w unit this is an excellent price.

I didn't mean to imply that the power supply had to be $100. If there's something that will be stable, quiet and last several years for less than $100, I'm all ears.

Also, isn't 750W a little excessive? I currently have two HDDs and one SSD, other than that it's everything listed in the OP.

I've used the Ripjaws on 3-4 builds with the 212+, and have never had clearance issues. The Ripjaws Z edition has the larger heat spreaders in the middle, and may be more difficult to work with, but I diverge.

You'll be fine with this:

They should fit fine. Though you may have to raise the fan ever so slightly to fit. But it won't affect cooling that much.

Yay! I got one right!

Done and done. Thank you, sir.
