350w PSU comes included with the case, but of course no where near powerful enough to run this spec of a rig, so he's getting the other one.

650W should be enough for the GTX, I had to use antec due to the budget as I was over by almost $200, I spent $2100+ on a $2K budget

I know its in the case, but why buy a case with a PCU when U never gonna use it? Just buy a case without the PCU, thats all I meant. But then again that case is pretty cheap I saw so no matter.

well that was the cheapest case I could get since I wasn't looking to make it pretty. And yes, before I used two PSU's on my PC because I ran out of power connectors and was too lazy to go to staples to buy splitters. Then I just baught a new PSU that had enough. Although, I already forgot what wires I need to connect to jump start it hahaha.
