Suddenly my Thermaltake Toughpower 600W broke and I could not get it fixed. So in a limited budget I am badly in need of a poer supply. My PC configuration is:

Core i7 870
Asus Sabertooth P55i
ATI Radeon 6850 1GB DDR5
6 GB DDR3 Transcend 1333 BUS
1 TB Samsung HDD
DVD-RW
Creative X-Fi Titanium
USB3 Adapter
LAN Card
Thermaltake V6 BlacX

I have calculated my power requirement in this Asus link and it showed MInimum 500W is required.

If I buy a 500W decent PSU is it going to be enough? I have some options in my mind what will be the best for me or give me a better suggestion.. My options are given below. Thanks in advance..

1. Corsair 500CXV2 (500 W)
2. Cooler Master G 500W
3. Cooler Master Thunder 600W, 85per efficiency, Active PFC
4. Thermaltake 550W Light
5. Thermaltake 530W Smart

Among these 5 I want to buy the Corsair 500CXV2 (500 W) but everyone is saying if you got more juice I mean more WATT it is better for you. On the other hand there is efficiency. So, I was going for Thermaltake 730W Smart but everyone suggest me for Corsair or Cooler Master. I was sure for Corsair 500CXV2 then someone told me about 'Cooler Master Thunder 600W, 85per efficiency, Active PFC' . It has 85 percent efficiency, so I thought this will be better for me in 84$ because I was getting more watt and the Corsair was costing me 74$. But now nobody is suggesting Cooler Master even though the matter of watt. I actually do not understand what to buy..
