And I need a little advice about power supplies.

 

Now, I'm buying this MOBO:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128372

 

Which requires a 24-pin 12V power supply.

 

I'm also getting this Video card:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102822

 

Which will require about 550W power supply with a PCI-E 6 pin power plug.

I was thinking of going with this PSU:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182017

But it's just a tad pricey. I'm trying to keep the price of the total system under $550 dollars, but the only PSU's I can find on newegg are really expensive in comparison to some other sites.

I found this one on computer geeks:http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=ESTAR680XGD&cpc=SCH

 

Which seems to be cheaper and supply me with more than enough power, also.

 

What would be the downside to using the cheaper PSU from geeks? Is it 100% comaptible with the MOBO I'm buying?
