My power supply went out on me recently and luckily I had a spare one which isn't as powerful but it's getting the job done atm so I am looking for a new power supply. The psu
I am currently leaning towards is the one below but if anyone has any other suggestions let me know. Also, my current specs are listed below and I plan on adding a blu-ray burner, possibly a ssd drive, and a gtx 660 depending on it's performance when it's released. Thanks in advance.

Current Specs:
Asus H67-M Pro
Intel Core i3-2120 @ Stock
Seagate 500 gb hd
G.Skill Ripjaws X 8 gb

That CX 500 watt is overpriced for its performance and specs.

There's an Antec modular 400 watt power supply that goes on sale for ~$20 after rebates every so often. The CX 430 V2 also goes on sale for ~$20 slightly more often, although it's much inferior in quality and features.

Anyways, 400-500 watts should be all you're looking for.
 
I recommend this budget PSU over that OCZ:
$64 - Antec NEO ECO 520C 520W PSU

No MIR to deal with and don't have to deal with OCZ's CS.

The CX 500 gives him 2x PCI-E power leads. He'll need it for the video card otherwise I agree the CX 430 V2 is a good deal normally, but it's the same price as the CX 500 at the egg.
