Thank you sir! But do you think 520w will be enough? I know those PSU's have 3 rails and are very good but do you think for OC'ing purposes I should be at least 600w?

You probably don't need 600W, but I personally would because when I upgrade... I just take the dive for something that I hope will last a bit longer.

520wt will be fine, but if you want that extra bit of power then grab the 620 from Corsair

Yes they have three +12v rails but they act like a single +12v rail, there is no OCP.

I would also go for the corsair... I have built two rigs with corsairs, and they have been rock solid.

Corsair is top notch quality, but they are a bit pricy. If you must have over 600 watts and modular cables, it won't be cheap any way you look at it.
