Need suggestions

[Scootel2]

Okay so far I have decided to purchase the following components:

CASE: COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 CAC-T05-WW
POWER SUPPLY: UNDECIDED
MOTHERBOARD: GIGABYTE GA-965P-DS3
PROCESSOR: Core 2 Duo E4300
MEMORY: G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-6400CL5D-2GBNQ
VIDEO CARD: 8800 GTS
HARD DRIVE: 80GB Western Digital

I really need suggestions on a good power supply. I intend to overclock. Also if you have other suggestions for any of my components please add your comments.

Thanks

well for starters i would look at wattage, the 8800 gts requires a minimum power supply of 400W with 26A output. So id would start looking at PSUs that meet or exceed that first. i personaly like the ultra PSUs (http://www.pcpower.com/products/viewproduct.php?show=S47ATX) and silverstone antec ones are not bad either. but i have been using a few ultras over the last few years and never used any others. and stay away from the PSUs that are included with the case. Even the cooler master psu that comes with the c5 is really weak IMO.

Im really considering the Corsair HX520W. I think this will be more then enough and this power supply has great reviews. What do you guys think?

I like this 650w seasonic in my signature, was purchased about 2 months ago.

Why aren't you asking this in the power supply forum?

But anyway, if you are thinking of the Corsair go for the 620 instead of the 520. The 620 is only a few bucks more and will give you better capacity for future upgrades. The Corsairs are great little power supplies, you won't go wrong with one.
