PSU Claculator said that I only needed 371W. And I'm taking the DVD drive out of my current PC.

damn right

remember, you cant have too much power as the PSU will only draw what it needs.

also if you look to get a second GPU later for SLi setup, you wont need to upgrade your PSU as well :D

Tri_Cores have a forth core but it's locked. I'm going to unlock it so in effect I will have a quad core Phenom II for peanuts.

Okay. I see. Well wouldnt that cause the proccessor to get really hot though? Since I would imagine that they shut off that other core for a reason.

I would choose a better quality case like Antec or Coolermaster. A Corsair, Antec, or PC Power& Cooling power supply should be better quality. Instead of getting Hitachi, I would get a Western Digital 1TB Black series. Get a Samsung for the DVD burner.

I have heard good things from NZXT so I will stick with them. I'm pushing my budget now. And if you read you would see I'm getting a DVD-Drive out of my current PC. Hitachi will do me just fine, No point paying extra for almost no reason.
