Hello

IMHO your system is the bottom edge of power desktop in todays spec. This is not a bad thing by any means considering your system is "probably" two years old ?????

anyway >>>>>> your psu choice is A++

I would say something like this is sufficient; a 650w is probably not needed.

If you really want to go for a top-of-the-line PSU, though, check out this one:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341002

It's on rebate right now, so it's cheaper than your first pick and just slightly higher quality. I'm not denying that your PSU choice is a top quality PSU, just that you could probably spend a bit less money and be just fine. However, saying that, I am by no means advocating bargain basement PSU's; buying from a quality manufacturer is extremely important.
