I bought a standard 800w power supply from Cyber Power on my first pc build
this is my build:
CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.50 GHz Six-Core AM3+ CPU 6MB L2 Cache & Turbo Core Technology
FAN: Asetek 550LC 120mm Liquid Cooling CPU Cooler - Extreme Cooling Performance (Single Standard 120MM Fan)
HDD: 2TB (2TBx1) SATA-III 6.0Gb/s 64MB Cache 7200RPM HDD (256GB Sandisk SSD + Single Drive)
MEMORY: 8GB (4GBx2) DDR3/2133MHz Dual Channel Memory (ADATA XPG V3)
MOTHERBOARD: * ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 AMD 970 ATX w/ GbLAN, 2 Gen2 PCIe x16, 2 PCIe x1, 2 PCI
POWERSUPPLY: 800 Watts - Standard 80 Plus Certified Power Supply - SLI/CrossFireX Ready
SOUND: HIGH DEFINITION ON-BOARD 7.1 AUDIO
VIDEO: AMD Radeon R7 360 2GB GDDR5 PCIe 3.0 x16 Video Card (Single Card)
WNC: 802.11b/g/n 300Mbps PCI-E (wireless network card.)
Total: $597 + Tax (free shipping)

I've heard bad things about standard power supply units destroying whole rigs and can call and ask change to a 600 Watts - EVGA 600 80 PLUS Power Supply for 2 dollars less.
Should I do it? Thanks.
