Power Supply
OCZ StealthXstream 600w

Case
Cooler Master Centurion 5 w/ window (Cutting case to install upper ventilation fan)

OS
Vista Home Premium - Sys Builders Version

Trying to keep the price floating around 1k, this one's about $1050ish after rebates and shipping from Newegg.



-- The question I have is will the 600w be plenty for this build? Obviously I'd like to have some space between needed wattage and applied wattage. I may be adding a WD Raptor X and an Arcting Cooling cpu fan to the build after a month or so. I also have been wondering about the Sys Builders version of Vista HP, the only two things I can pull from articles is that the SB version is cheaper and has no tech support from Windows, which I can live definitely with. Any and all help is appreciated.

Thanks a bunch,

CC

According to http://www.extreme.o...ucalculator.jsp your computer's minimum juice level is about 450-460w.

You might want to use two SATA drives as the old IDE drive will slow things down heavily.
Your Raptor X will only add another 20w on top of the above figure.
Your replacement fan will probably add no more overheads than the retail fan would.
