You need to settle on the basic hardware before choosing a power supply. What video card will you use? A 500w Corsair might be fine, but depending on all your choices could be overkill or not provide enough power. You continue to talk about card readers, blueray drives, aftermarket coolers, and so forth. That's fine but not when you ignore some of the basic choices or change your mind from post to post. Stick to motherboard, processor, memory and video card...we know you want to pack the case with drives and other bling. Some who have tried to help you are outta here; stick to this one thread and focus a little or everyone will ignore you. Skip

i looked at a 600w OCZ XStream 600W psu and think its right, but the corsair 550w also looks very good... Samsung 32" HDTV Logitech DiNovo Mouse and Keyboard Logitech X-540 Custom Built PC Sky 80GB PS3 HDMI

Consider that a GTX275 can use about 20a of +12v power. Next consider that you want to run a crapload of hard drives and optical drives. So, the 550VX with 41a on the 12v rail for 80 bucks or the 750TX with 60a on the 12v rail for $20 more. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ... The 550 watt might be a little hard pressed to run all your stuff and a GTX275. The 750 would have no problem and I'd go for it for the extra $20. Main thing is to spend your money wisely. BlueRay and other hi tech stuff is dandy so long as you don't get it at the expense of buying a good solid psu or core components like processor, motherboard, and memory. Skip

Hey Skip, everybody is legendary when you are 16.

This kid has been posting about his build for weeks now. I've also received several PM's from him. No matter how hard I've tried to help & no matter how many links I've supplied, he continually changes things. Click on his name & review some of his other threads...he even called me out on a couple of them. He does not take advice well & will most likely buy whatever the hell he wants, regardless of what he's told. I guess that comes with being 16. I've already told him he'll get no more help from me...I'm done.
