If i was ready to build a new computer, I'd definitely go to 650 or 750 watt with a solid brand name with at least 80% efficiency. I've seen some on sale for less than $100 lately. There was one 750 watt on that sales page I linked to but I guess it sold out quickly.

I'd also get an SSD hard drive for the operating system.
