Never EVER try to save money on a PSU. A bad PSU can destroy all the components in your computer, so don't be afraid to spend big on that department. I would urge you to buy an Enermax, OCZ, Antec or BeQuiet PSU of 550-600 watt.

Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. A trusthworthy PSU is the most important component in any computer.

The rest of your setup looks awesome. It's a tad better than my system, you should be able to play all recent games on high.

There is a lot of good advice for you here, but none better then what this guy said.

If you are at the edge of your budget, I would even step down in watts for a better name PSU. The watts is a rating system that the manufacturer recommends, not some magic figure that at that the PSU shuts down at. Of the brands mentioned above, some 500W units will run better then 650W budget models. I have a 430 Antec that provides very clean power at 500W, where a lot of knockoff 550W PSU's are not near as clean at 500W.

The higher the better, but good quality always trumps numbers.
