So I recently bought the components to build my own PC. This is my first time building a PC, but I wanted to get a good deal and it just seemed to be the best way to go. I asked a friend for help on deciding on which components to buy and also talked with a forum poster on slickdeals. I was trying to stay on a tight budget (less than 1000 including monitor). Both approved of my list, so I made my order.
However, when I told two other people what components I was putting in my computer, they said I should upgrade to a bigger power supply. This would be a huge pain as I already installed the power supply into my case, I have everything sprawled out all over my desk ready to put it together (I don't want to have to wait 3+ days with this stuff sitting out like this), and my dad helped pay for some of the system and I don't want him to think I made an irresponsible decision in what parts to order. So if my power supply is good enough for what I have, then that's good enough for me.
Here are the specs:
Power supply - CORSAIR CMPSU-450VX 450W ATX12V V2.2 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply
Disk drive - Sony Optiarc DVD Burner with LightScribe Black SATA Model AD-7241S-0B LightScribe Support
Alright, because I was getting really worried. Quite a few people said I should upgrade, but I'm very reluctant. I spent A LOT of time on trying to find a computer to buy, and I really don't want to have to wait all that time to send something back. Plus, I'd feel really guilty for buying a weak power supply in the first place and having to spend more money.
