Many Thanks!
 
yeah you definately dont need more than a 500w of a decent make to power that setup, I would definitely go down the amd route here, as it offers upgrade potential in the future (the intel quad cores are most likely going to be phased out with the advent of i5) also you will probably get the best perfomance with that amd rig especially if you overclock the CPU.
 
This is a MUCH better spec for the same or less money.....
