Which PSU to get

[Dutchsemigamer]

Hello.
I am looking for a decent PSU for my system.
My system looks as follows:
* Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 OR Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 OR Q6700 (A lot to think about xD)

* GigaByte GA-P35-DS3L, P35 (ATX, PCI-E, Sound, LAN, SATA II)

* Xfx GeForce 8800 GTX 768Mb Ddr3 Xt Pci-E Dual-Dvi Hdtv Out

* Kingston 4GB DDR2 (2x2GB) PC6400 800Mhz CL5 Dual Channel Kit

* Samsung SHS202N/BEBN 20x (Dual Layer, Black, Lightscribe) OEM

* Samsung Spinpoint F1 HD753LJ, 750GB SATA-300, 32MB, 7200rpm

* Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro (Socket 775)

* Probably a quite good 22 inch widescreen monitor

* Probably a 590 Cooler Master casing with some fans

My budget tops out around 85 euro's (130 dollars) but I can squeeze out some more if necessary.

I have come up with 2 PSU's so far:
Cooler Master Real Power M520 (59,95 euro's) and the Corsair VX550W (71,95 euro's)

I would love to get some advice from experts. Are these PSU's even strong enough for the system, would you recommend an entirely different PSU, etc.
Someone from a different forum recommended the quite expensive CORSAIR CMPSU-620HX ATX12V v2.2. Is that overkill or just needed?
Note: I am not going SLI in the future by the looks of it.

Go with the Corsair VX550...that is plenty of power for your system

Edit: Damn we can find the VX550 in the US for under $100 at MANY places.

Try shopping around $130 for a VX550 sounds expensive even considering parts are cheaper in the US

Sounds very sure, sure enough to convince me!
Thanks a lot, more input is appreciated though.

I'd go for the 520hx just because of modular cables, I think 550vx isn't modular but i might be wrong.

system in sig has never used more than 360 watts from wall according to my kill-a-watt... and that's with my proc oc'd to 3.4 ghz and video oc'd to 756/1850/1000 mhz

It isn't but the HX will be over his budget

Well, it's just inside my budget range, but it is out of stock. The PSU section is really bad at the store where I am getting my rig. The M520 is modular, or is it a sucky PSU?

PC Power & Coooling Silencer 610 seems to have a good rep to. I run the same mobo, 150gb raptor, E8400 and 9800GTX on it fine. Whisper quiet and I never see the power draw break 200-250 mark.

The corsair is pretty popular around here to so that might be your choice.

Thanks for all the great help. I have upped my budget a bit, to around 85 euro's. I am going to buy a TX-650W, which was actually cheaper than a HX520W! Special actions for the win. Gives me a lot of space for future upgrades.
