An Antec 380w would be enough for around $40 but here is a higher watt PSU on sale.

The SEASONIC G is a better PSU.

The SEASONIC G is a better PSU.

Better as in reliability? or just Watts? Because i think the 550W is just a waste of money since im probably not using more than 400

Most give you 2 weeks after purchase. Long as your order is with in the time on your receipt.

Still, if the rebate were to end at say 2am id be SoL. Because im probably only ordering after 3PM due to circumstances

Better Platform and Gold Efficiency.

Other is still a good value. But based on the GB Bronze.

If you cant make the rebate time this one is good for your system.

It was actually another person answering a build list question I had. He recommended it over a EVGA 600W i think

If you go with EVGA get the G2 or G3 models.
