a wee question to those more clued up than me :D
for this motherboard asus P8Z68-V LX
and this cpu Intel Sandybridge i5-2500K Unlocked Core i5 Quad-Core Processor (3.30GHz, 6MB Cache, Socket 1155)

what power supply would be good?
please tell me before i order the wrong one.lol
 
what else are you using in the pc mate,power supply ratings are little confusing sometimes
as some are rated at 600 watt this is a peak rating and the 12v rail will be more like 300 watt
use a calculator to work out the power you will be using and then and a little more juice
also if you will be using lots of usb devices check out the 5v rail on the power supply

here is a link to a good calculator
