I suck a finding PSU's

I also plan on getting a 660TI when I save for it.

I would drop to a 600watt just for future proofing reasons.

550W is still more than plenty for a 660 Ti, so no worries.
How about a nice Seasonic, they're the guys that at least used to make Corsair's high-end PSU's http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151096
It's 620W, but still cheaper than the Corsair you specced.

Seriously, get a cheap drive for OS X and leave it at home, you might end up needing it more than once, trust me on this, but once you start messing around, re-installs are a part of having a hack if you screw up too badly...
That said, I guess you won't be messing around too much trying out various kexts etc...

I have had to do a completely clean install at LEAST 10 times because I started messing with things.... lol now my system is totally stable, so I am not messing with anything anymore because I am in school

Do yourself a favor, get a cheap 8gb drive, and get a couple of them, 2 at least. The first drive I used turned out to be a dud and I went through hours of testing my components to see if they were the issue

I have a dedicated Lion 10.7.4 install usb drive and a dedicated ML 10.8 drive as well in case of an emergency
