yes, 600watt will do with it, if you are not overclocking. =D
for myself i would get ocz or team xtreem.
for team team elite is the cheaper ram, the reason is because sometime u run your com. it might not be able to load. which mean you have to take out your ram and put it back again.

LOL! its a fact that 600watt will be enough for him,
Team elite ram is the most cheaper, it have some problem also.
Due to what i have heard the issus, this ram sometime cause the system uable to start. the solution to solve is to plug up and put back the ram. =D

suggest you add a SSD or v.raptor as harddisk for your O/S and crucial programs. And i think there a hundred casings better than CM HAF RC 932 but it is just me..
難得一身好本領 情關始終闖不過闖不過 柔情蜜意 亂揮刀劍無結果 流水滔滔斬不斷 情絲百結衝不破刀鋒冷 熱情未冷 心底更是難過 無情刀 永不知錯無緣份 祇嘆奈何面對死不會驚怕 離別心悽楚 人生幾許失意 何必偏偏選中我揮刀劍 斷盟約 相識註定成大錯
