I'm not really worried about the PSU, because I can replace that part. Imagine I have the best PSU ever built.

I just noticed this and I facepalmed

 

You do NOT want to cheap out on your PSU... it is arguably the most important piece in your PC

Worst case it fries everything in your PC, best case it works perfectly - somewhere in the middle your PC randomly shuts down lol

It's also the last piece you pick. Don't worry, this ain't my first time around the yard, it's just been a while, and I want people to critique my choices. I already know they're pretty good, but this is helping, I've already found a better CPU for the same price, not thanks to a suggestion, but thanks to a comparison site someone linked earlier in this thread.

You can't recommend me a PSU, because you don't know how big of a PSU I need. Neither do I. Not yet, so it's irrelivant. I promise you this, when I do decide on a PSU, it will probably be the best one they make in whatever size I choose, and it will have at least 1 customer choice award at Newegg.

I usually just go with at least a 750 PSU and leave it at that :)

Just for fun I decided to put together a PC (not upgrading yet) since I will probably be upgradign in the near future.

I have upgraded my GPU to a 5870 so far, and ordered a 64G SSD just now

Total price = $1431.43

Though that price is in Canadian funds, your price would probably be a little cheaper.
Granted I already have the GPU and the SSD (soon anyhow) so my price for everything else is a bit lower (around $900)
Add onto that like $50 for a DVD-ROM/CD-ROM combo drive
