Hi folks this is my first thread I need your help.

I have assembled a PC using these components :
Processor - i7 4770
Motherboard - Gigabyte ga b85 d3h
Ram - gskills rip jaws 4gb
Powersupply - looking for it ( used my friends corsair vs 450 for test boot )
Hardrive - seagate barracuda 1tb 7200
Graphic card - leadtek Quadro 600
Cabinet/chasy - ask 4000b-u3
Now the problems that I am facing -
1) which power supply should I buy CX 430 or antec VP 450p or any other recommendation ?
2) the harddrive that I am using is from 1 and half old build it has windows 7 os installed and lots of other stuff but the problem is that the system is showing bluscreen after windows logo ( at first i thougth my harddrive failed or corrupt ) just to check it I plugged it in different pc with core 2 duo procesor and it worked perfectly fine .. Do I need to format the c drive and reinstall windows ?

3) by mistake i have removed the wrong expansion slot from the cabinet/chasy i was supposed to remove pcie slot 16x but i have removed pcie 4x for the graphic card does it make any difference because now I am not able to put the small piece of metal back to the cabinet ?

This is a budget PC for animation and editing and this is the first time I have assembled a PC.
Kindly reply asap

Thanks :)

it give you some overhead if you want to put in a higher end gpu latter on. with any gaming or work pc never go under size on it. when you load a power supply near it max output on the 12v line it can ripple out or just shut down. when you build a rig try over-sizing it a little.
2. if you dont want to lose your data boot into safe mode and under windows system devices..remove all of the devices and reboot and let windows reload the drivers for the new mb. may not work but it a dirty work around. the best fix is a clean wipe of the drive and a reload.
3. online they sell silver and black pci slot covers that screw down.

Thanks smorizio
1) I am from India I don't think I can get that power supply here and I am on a tight budget the power supplies that I have shortlisted are - corsair vs 450 , corsair CX 430 , antec vp 450p my bugdet is 3000 Indian rupees = 48 us dollars roughly .
2) do I need to wipe c drive or the full hard wipe of the whole drive ?
3) I will try to find it on amazon.in
