Which power supply should I get?
Last response: in Components
Hello everyone,
I'm planning to build an affordable gaming computer for the first time and I just wanted to know how much watts (power supply) I need to support my computer.
Here are the computer components that I am planning to buy:
Motherboard- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
Video Card- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
CPU- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
Memory- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
HDD- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
Optical Drive- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
I'm planning to buy a 500 W ATX power supply and I was wondering if this is too much or not enough power. Also will a ATX power supply fit in a micro ATX tower?
Here are the links for the micro ATX tower and the ATX power supply:

ATX PSU will fit in a micro-ATX case.
The NewEgg fine print on open box items should concern you if you're getting a open-item motherboard:
Open Box Refund Only Return Policy
"If you purchase an Open-Box product Newegg guarantees only that you will receive the product itself; accessories MAY OR MAY NOT BE INCLUDED with Open-Box products. Newegg will not send you a missing accessory, even if the missing accessory is required in order to properly make use of all the product’s advertised functions."

Best solution
Corsair 400CX $30 after $20 rebate a bit less power but much better overall quality and after rebate less expensive. 3yr warranty vs 1yr for the Rosewill.
Most important it has enough power for all your parts and is a well reviewed and respected PSU.

Core i3 530 & ASUS P7H55-M PRO $180 after $30 discount is about $4 less than your original CPU/MB pair.
Combo deal: Corsair 400CX and the DVD burner you picked $61 after $7 discount and before $20 rebate on PSU.
