System Specs

Low power PSUs for low power PC

Seeing how my first post was blalantly ignored, I decided to answer myself the questions I made and move onto the next subject. These are the components my new build will most likely have:

Kingston 2048MB Dual Channel PC8500 DDR3 1066MHz Memory (2 x 1024MB)(0.5 lbs)

Lite-On IHDP118-04 Internal DVD Drive - DVD-ROM 18x, CD-ROM 48x, IDE (OEM)(1.6 lbs)

Gigabyte GZPH2A30 Mid-Tower Case - ATX, Micro ATX, USB 2.0, No Fan, No PSU, Black(7.78 lbs)

Biostar A780L3L AMD 760G Motherboard - ATX, Socket AM3, AMD 760G Chipset, DDR3 1600MHz (O.C.), RAID, SATA 3.0 Gb/s, 6-Channel HD Audio, Radeon 3000, Fast Ethernet(0.8 lbs)

Western Digital WD3200AAJS Caviar Blue Hard Drive - 320GB, 3.5", 7200RPM, 8MB, SATA-300 (OEM)(1.1 lbs)

AMD Athlon II X2 255 Dual Core Processor ADX255OCGQBOX - 3.00GHz, Socket AM3, 2MB Cache, 2000MHz (4000 MT/s), Retail(0.3 lbs)

The only thing missing is the PSU. I narrowed my options to these three:

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...7573&CatId=106

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...7567&CatId=106

They were chosen because of the low price above all. The 6-pin connector on the Diablotek is unnecessary for me, but it could help me to sell the PC in the future. I won't overclock or put the PC under heavy stress, if you must know.

If there's a better option in my price range (below $35), please tell me, any help will be welcome. Thank you.
