What's your budget?
And where do you live?

Fanboyism:
Corsair 400W, or 520W if you plan to be safe
OCZ are fine when they have a promotion sale
for 775 mobo, look for p45 chipset.
but damn, is 2010 why are you using 775 and a 9600gt? look for a better nvidia card if you are into CUDA stuff.

Yeah, get OCZ if you can.
I haven't tried out any Corsair PSUs yet, but I got a OCZ StealthXStream 500W for 30CAD after a MIR, and it's working great. Really silent as the name suggests, but it peaks at exactly 500W. It doesn't have a little extra that some PSUs have, so if you're not exactly sure if 500W is enough to power your rig, get a 550W to be on the safe side.
Also, what currency is that website with the 9600GT using?

Not sure, if I need more money I'll wait till I have it. Also Uruguay as you can see by those links I posted.

@Cris - A 9600GT isn't worth 170 dollars man. I bought my 9600GSO for 40CAD.
If you're planning to spend 170USD, get a HD 5770.

I may also add that as I previously said I live in Uruguay. Located in South America, I could explain what its like but I can just tell you that the iPhone 3G(not 3Gs) is worth 500$ here, the 360 just came out(PS3 came out before), I bought my wii for 200$ or so in Canada and here is about 400$.
HD 5770 - # U$S 350, 00
I couldn't find the power supply suggested, however I did find another 550w one. Prob shit

TL:DR; I can't find everything you guys suggest, if I do it will cost 2x-4x more.

No current budget, it would be best to keep it around 800$ or less but otherwise I'll try to reach that amount.
