GPU:Ati Radeon HD 4670
Case: Unknown
Ram(unneeded probably): 4GB ddr3 1333MhZ ram, gonna upgrade to 8gigs eventually.
PSU: Idk, that's why this thread exists!
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

Hi,
I am sure that you have made some mistake about the CPU, since the ''M'' or ''mobile'' models are for laptops.
Anyway, you will need a PSU with no more than 400W for your system, since your overall wattage draw will be 200W

As i said previously, no more than 400w. If you want to buy more powerful PSU, that will be also ok, since you might use it on your future build.
