 If you can spend about $30 more, a 9800gt would probably be a better value.

 The Antecs I've used have all been of excellent build quality. They may not be the best but for a budget build they're just fine.

				| I got 5 antec PSU's. No problem with one of them. Tho if you throw them to the ground they might stop work.
 
 I got this in many:
 http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story4&reid=35
 
 Performance  	9.5
 Aesthetics 	6
 Value 	10
 Functionality 	8
 Total Score 	9
 
 Aesthetics at 6 is because it not so nice appearence and they cables aren't unpluggalbe (don't know the other word).
