He wants to save some dough and I see no point in investing in a VX450 over the Tagan SR500W TBH! This PSU does not belong to the leagues of the CM Extreme Power PSUs and could easily drive an OC'd Quad core system with a pwr hungry graphics card such as the HD4890. I'm not sure if Tagan's trusty old OEM Topower is the OEM but this PSU is good going by the reviews. I'd rather advise him to stick with the Tagan PSU itself.
Additionally, I'd advise the OP to go with the system posted above by Dark Star. That system coupled with a good GPU such as the GTX260/HD4870 and above should see you crunching thru most apps including most newer releases of games.
Advise you to invest in a good aftermarket cooler and OC the processor to gain the inherent advantages.
