Ok I am wondering if the PSU that comes with this bundle (http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1935034) will be strong enough to power everything else plus (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135204). If the PSU won't work, or you know of a better PSU please tell me.

Hi - The issue isn't whether a decent quality 530w PSU would power that system, it will. The real problem
you may have is the quality of Raidmax PSU's is bad, actually very bad. Your system is using a low
power GPU, so you can get by with the Raidmax for a while, but I'd save $ to upgrade, or do so now
if you can afford to.

If so, post your budget and I'll suggest some alternatives.

Well since I am buying the pc in a bundle I am saving a little so I will be able to have some money left over. Do you have any suggestions?. What about this? (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371016) or (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371031). On another note I will be using this pc for gaming, so will that affect the amount of power I need for the PSU? Also thank you.
 


Hi again - With the 750ti either of the PSU's you linked have more than enough power for gaming.
The 2nd one you linked would be an excellent choice but it is not available and was $60.
So, stay with the 1st one (bp 550 plus) as it's semi modular in addition to the $40 net after mir.

To stay modular (which i prefer) at 550w or greater (good quality), you go over $60.
