Yeah as said its all about the 12V rails, and the HX's are good because they carry a lot of amps across them. The 520 will be perfectly fine, not only because its a great, reliable brand. But also because your going to using newer "tech" such as the Q6600 G0 (I hope you are anyway you can specify on ebuyer which one you want) and the 8800GT which requires less then 8800gts. ALl cutting down on your power needs.
It'll even give you some breathing space for upgrading.
Of course if your planning on *lots* of peripherals then you might want to step up one to the 600 ^^.
Oddly enough, ebuyer, overclockers, scan and dabs all list the "C" model cheaper or *only* list the "C" model. Confused me mightily when I was looking lol.
Thermalright Ultra 120 (£32 ebuyer) when combined with a fan (Antec TriCool maybe?) makes for a pretty neat aftermarket HS/F.
*EDIT*
For us UK buyers, Scan, Dabs and overclockers now have the 8800GT in stock/in 2days prices are 175-180 with overclockers and dabs being cheaper atm

1) the P35C-DS3R is distinct from the P35-DS3R by virtue of it supporting DDR3 memory. Usually plain model is cheaper.
