I strongly disagree with the cheapest power supply.  You should be the
best for your money.  Remember nothing is between the power supply and
the mother board.  A blown PS can take down the whole computer,
permanently.  I always over rate my PS.  if my board and drives are
pulling 400 I buy 750.  That means a longer life on the power supply and
cooler operation.
