Im sure that PSU will get the job done, I would probably tend towards a Corsair, Enermax, or Antec PSU though.

Theres a whole list of recommended PSUs over in the power supply forum.

You could learn alot about PSUs from that thread alone if your interested. If not the bulk of the list is in the first post. If a single 570 is what you intend to run then anything on that list 550w or higher will do the trick.

The 7850 and 7870 are better cards for less $$$.

Look for combo deals!

I couldnt find anything on that list cheap enough because im on a tight budget but I did what you said and went with an antec psu. Does this look a lot better than what i had before.. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371016
