That's not compatible with eachother. You're putting an Intel processor into an AMD Motherboard. On topic: TX650 all the way.

The CS is brand new and better in everything except ripple, but that is merely "great" instead of "excellent".

EDIT: No wait, for that money on that site I'd get this. Even better and it seems to be very quiet.

TX650 all the way. I'm not a big fan of CoolerMaster power supplies anyway, but the TX650 is definitely a better built unit. Just the fact that the TX650 is rated for 50w less, but is really only 2A less on the 12v rail is a good indication that the TX unit is better built than the CoolerMaster.

Corsair, and yes, jump up to the CS. Cooler Master makes great cases, but I've not heard much about them having good power supplies.
