If you are not overclocking, this PSU would work find for you.
If you plan on overclocking, you may want to consider a 650w-700w PSU.

400W over?? That's another psu that can power up another computer! ha, but $80 isn't a bad price for a 850W. I'd rather go with a higher end Corsair 500W for that price though.
