Those PSU's are a little pricey I've never had any problems with PSU's I've had some cheap ones last me years but I don't know if I want to spend $30 more on a PSU.

Do you have any recomendations I mean some links? I'm trying to stay at the range of money I'm at right now.
 
dont get a 965. get a 975 or a 680i. p5w-dh or evga 680i. go for a better psu. $100 more for a mainboard, and $50 more for a psu. or if you really want to stay $125 and below for a mainboard check out the asus p5ne sli (650i).

I don't think that I will go SLI I'm right in the middle of also going to Devry College so I don't have all the money in the world. On Newegg the processor that I picked got a "2x best selling Reward," so I thought it would have been good for the price?
 
i have that cpu. i paid about $15 more for it last august. no price drops since then, and none until the end of the second quarter '07. so you got it for as cheap as you are gonna find it. good choice on mainboard (if you are going woth the p5ne-sli)
 
The Antec SP-500 is notorious for bad capacitors. I had one and it lasted about 4 months before it died. I would look into getting a better supply.
