Don't use that raidmax PSU, its no good. If you do not get a discrete GPU, then you will not be able to play games that came out in the last couple years most likely.


Thanks, appreciate your feedback. Do you suggest any other brand PSU ?

xthekidx said:
OCZ, PC Power&Cooling, Corsair, Antec, Seasonic, Silverstone, Enermax. All excellent brands for PSU's.


Sorry for being completely ignorant.

Do you think this should be ok? APEVIA MX-TELSTAR-NW-AL Silver Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case500W Power Supply

No Apevia PSU's are some of the worst ones out there. Try to pick from that list^. Will you be getting a discrete GPU, or just using integrated graphics?

Look for one of these PSU's: Corsair 400cx, Antec EA430 Earthwatts 430w, PC Power & Cooling Silencer 370w, SeaSonic SS-400ES 400W, OCZ StealthXStream OCZ500SXS 500W

Any one of those PSU's would be able to handle a entry level gaming GPU in addition to the rest of your system, probably up to a 4670 or 4770 when it gets released.

Corsair 400cx: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
+
Antec 300: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
$100 after $10 rebate. Very well cooled case, and high quality PSU, would allow up to a 4770 or 9800GT

or if you like quiet:
Antec Sonata III 500: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
Get $20 off w/ promo code Antec72, while supplies last
$100 after promo code savings, this is a good PSU that will allow up to a 4850 or GTS 250 if you wish.
