you're wasting quite a bit of money on that hard drive dude... even 640 GB is cheaper than that:

BTW, I copied my cart and the format got screwed up. The price below it is the actual price. Everything got shifted around. It's only 56.99.

I've said it before I'll say it again, pick your power supply using these reviews. A $60 600watt psu to me SCREAMS letting the magic smoke out of a computer.

A good quality power supply is not an option. The computer has to be under 500 dollars after all the rebates and discounts and can run a GTS 250. I'm not willing to spend 70+ dollars on a power supply when I can get one that is reliable for only 30.

not always. i'm running solid on a 500w coolermaster that was only like 35 dollars. although, its only 500 w, not 600w, id agree that 60 for 600 is ridiculous. Also, I have no plans on upgrading this cheap, reliable psu until i get a newer graphics card, wherein ill go with a 700w+ corsair or PP&C

Then find a cheap one that reviews well at JG. A gtx 250 should be runnable on 500watts with about 30amps on the 12v rail, if you find one of the antecs that was OEMed by seasonic your good.
