If I were you I'd go on the safe side and pick up a Corsair 520W or higher :dabs: BTW, where are you buying this stuff from? If it's ncix, for about 17$ more you could get a antec 900 case which for sure wouldn't cause your mobo to fall off as its got brass standoffs :D

Erm, it is INTEL based. Hence the Q6600.
