Hey all, I started planning out my pc upgrade plan, since my system has gone 4-5 years without any upgrades, and will be in serious need of one if I want to continue doing high quality PC gaming. Right now the rig I built is working through a Core 2 quad E6600 CUP on a Fatality motherboard, with an 8800GTS for my GPU.

For the build, I'll be upgrading from Vista to 7 64 bit, and gutting everything from inside except my optical drive, HD and sound card. Instead of listing off all the parts I'll just post my PCPartPicker here:

I'm going for a high quality gaming rig that'll last for the next 4-5 years like my current build has, so I'm staying with Intel and Nvidia, since they've proven to be incredibly reliable for me. I'm not planning on getting a new case unless I find a way to pay for it, since my Cooler Master mid case still works fine for what I need.

The biggest bit of help I need is picking out a good power supply without breaking the bank. I have a good amount of hardware knowledge, but I just can't decide which one I should get, so I figured I'd ask some of you guys what current PSUs have served you well

Any questions/comments on the parts I've already picked out is also appreciated!
