Here is the build I'm planning on buying:
Note: I have an Asus Geforce GTX 560TI not a Galaxy...

It's a budget build obviously that will be used mainly for gaming.

I'm trying to decide between these two PSUs:
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/rosewill-power-supply-rg630s12
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1550sxxb9

I was originally set (and still am currently) on the XFX because I heard they were a reliable brand, but for $10 less (not including the rebate on XFX) I could get the Rosewill which has 630w vs 550w and slightly more amps on the 12v single rail. I'm not against the $10 price difference if it means a higher quality PSU which I can rely on in the long run, I just want to make sure I make the right choice.

Also, if you can recommend another PSU within the same price range, please go ahead.

Thanks.
 
Ok, thank you. And just another quick question if you may...Would this setup be fine if I wanted to OC the CPU at all or would I need to buy a better PSU and/or motherboard in the future? I wouldn't be going all out, just slightly if any.
 
If you are in the US then this XFX 650 Watts Semi Modular will be $50 after rebate for today only.

It would be $42 after rebates if you sign up for and check out with masterpass (mastercard payment services which accepts other credit cards besides mastercard) and use the 10% off coupon code: masterpass10

Overclocking doesn't help as much as people put on
 
Thanks everyone for your answers. All were very helpful.

@Above - I'll look into that XFX 650w PSU and see if I can snag that deal, otherwise I will go for the 550w I originally posted.

Thanks again!
