Answer 1

NEVER cheap out when it comes to your power supply!!!



As all generic, no name, PSU vendors tend to grossly overstate the power rating of the crap they sell, I advise you not to buy a no name PSU. Besides they are not reliable and can fry your system components when they fail or have power spikes.

The PSU is basically the engine that drives you whole computer system.

Only buy an 80 plus certified PSU, from a reliable brand name such as Thermaltake, Enermax, Cooler Master, Antec, OCZ, or Corsair.

Also a modular PSU is preferred, as it allows you to only use the power cables you actually need.

This will eliminate cable clutter, and allow for better air flow inside your box. It means a more proper cooling result for your system.

Last but not least, it's always best to have a full ATX size PC case with bottom PSU mounting, for many reasons.

Top reasons being better air flow in the box and less vibrations and noise.

When building a computer you do not want to go for the cheaper option. This psu will not last a long life.

Answer 4

The PSU is good enough, but may break down after 2 or 3 years. I recommend Coolermaster or Coirsair brands, and 500W will be sufficient if your graphics card is not going to be high-end.



You'll struggle to find a good case at that price. Around £50 can get you a great one, for example: http://www.google.co.uk/products/catalog?q=atx+case&hl=en&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&bpcl=39314241&ion=1&biw=1920&bih=979&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=5895755540098697857&sa=X&ei=eIu8UIXYMoep0AXA7oHIDA&ved=0CJIBEPMCMAI

Answer 5

If 750 watts is what you need.



It has two fans so may be quite noisy.
