Power Supply
Ok Ive already purchased a Antect FullTower Case (Mounting plate for standard ATX or ATX12V power supply) and I was originally going to buy a Antec 350W PS w/Blue LED Light for $44 but I was looking on ebay today and found a Real PC 550 Watt LED Power Supply w/ 2 Serial ATA connectors w/ blue led lighting for 35 bucks, I know its not antec but should I go with that instead it has more watts and cheaper!?

Its quality, not quantity of the PSU that matters. Just because a knock off PCU has more wattage, chances are it can't give that kind of power due to the cheaper components used. Nevermind the fact cheap PSU's usaully die prematurely, and sometimes take a part with them.
Go with a high quality PSU: Antec, Enermax, Sparkle, or Fortron Source. Fortron Source PSU's are priced reasonably, and perform just aswell (If not better) Than one of the others... |

Its more about the Amps that can be supplied by the PSU...check the labels the Antec might be able to send more amps in the 12volt line then the real pc one.
