The system will have the following.

Not sure of quality of PSU, but I would use an Antec TPII 550watt as a reference, and only use equivalant or better quality. If PSU is much less than $90 reg price, I would be suspicious of quality before buying. I got mine on sale for $79 delivered from newegg.
