Hey guys, I'm currently in the process of building my new rig. Here are my planned components:

Keeping my old case: Antec sx1040 soho full tower
Asus a8n sli premium
2gb of the corsair TWINX DDR400 2-3-3-6 ram
ATI x1800xt (512mb) (still debating between this or 7900gt, any suggestions? lol)
I"m still using my old HD's, they continue to work fine.
AMD 64 3700+ San Diego
And various other stuff.

I'm curious as to what power supply to get. I've always went with Antec, and I'd like to keep at least a 550watt. I've been looking at the Antec Trupower 2.0 series, but, I'm not sure about compatability issues with my mobo, and I don't want an MSI Neo4 Platinum due to memory bandwidth issues with dual channel memory. I might overclock the processor to 2.6, not sure yet. I've also thought about the NeoHE 550w modular as well, but i'm just not sure. Can anyone make some suggestions?
 
BTW, the pricerange for my PSU is under 130 or less. I'd like something modular maybe, or at least with sheathed cables..
 
I like what i've read about it so far, but, will it work on my Case? Antec sx1040 soho full tower. Its an old case, but I just dont' want to get rid of it. I love the thing.
 
It should, since the Hiper's are pretty much 'standard' size PSUs, unless your old case is an odd shape/size where the PSU mounts.
 
The only issue with Antec psu's was with the Neo HE lineup, not the truepower. Truepower would be an excellent choice for you.
