Hi, im building a new rig. What PSU should i get. I dont want to spend an arm and a leg, but i do want decent power.

C2D e6300 (will overclock)
2gb gskill ram
2x 36gb raptors in raid + 500gb hdd
7950 nvidia KO 512mb
Asus P5W motherboard
22" LG LCD


Is the 520w Corsair gonna be enough?

Plenty even for an 8800GTX.

You can do what I just did and get the 520 at buy.com for $90 after using google-checkout. Free shipping too.

It's just too bad you didn't post this a day earlier, because there was a $10 mail-in rebate (expired yesterday).
