Killswitch will post them,as he is well known here,and his price will be right. Any time I have something for sale,I ask Killswitch to take care of it for me,as he has much more knowledge on costs etc. than I do. PM him, and ask for the price on one of them. They will be available in two days. I'm sure you can end up with a damn good deal,if you can wait a couple more days. For sure,you will be more than happy with a 480. Good luck!

Will a 650W power supply be enough for this build or should I stick with the 750W?

Stick with the 750W. Even a bit more won't hurt. The difference in cost from a 750 to 1kw for example, is minimal.

The 650W is 27 dollars cheaper and the cheaper the better since the shipping and tax on this system will be close to a hundred more added on cost.

650 should be enough... a 480 is a power hog though it should be still enough..

Honestly for 27 bucks i would get the 750 at least. That means that the PSU can last you a bit longer than the 650 would for future upgrades etc

To keep the price down, I'll go with a TX750 by Corsair, but it isn't modular.

I have the exact case your getting and it should be just fine for cable management. You might have to get creative depending on how many cables are left over but it should be fine

Alrighty, good to hear seeing as it fits nicely in my budget. I saved 50 bucks from 16GB of ram to 8GB of Ram, and 30 more dollars on a non-modular powersupply. I then proceeded to use around 50 of the left over budget for a better graphics card, the EVGA GTX 560 Ti FPB, and 30 dollars cheaper then when I came here.

Thanks everyone!

What Overclock should I be able to achieve with the Notcua and the i5 2500k?
