Note that your estimated wattage is far under what your psu provides. You could easily get away with a 500 or 450 watt unless you plan on using that same PSU in a high end build sometime in the future, or going Crossfire as an upgrade (and even then when I put an identical card for Xfire in it sits just below 400 W). That doesn't mean cheap out on the PSU, just get a good one with less wattage. Cheaping out/going for offbrand on a PSU is the one thing that can cause your entire computer to die if something goes wrong with it, for obvious reasons.

Here's an edited build with a decent 500 W psu, it's not much but it cuts about 30 off the final post rebate price. You could of course also go for something without a modular design and it would cut the price even more, but stick with the big brands.

Honestly, keep your PS. Since you have a 20 dollar MIR, if you can afford it now it will allow a lot in the future

That's just a lame thread. There's no good reason why specific builds need to be kept to a single thread.

You don't buy a Ferrari just to drive 50 km/h(30 mph) with it all the time.
