Hey,
I'm have just decided the build for my first homebuilt gaming desktop; and even though I have read pages and pages of articles on the internet about chosing the correct psu, I still don't know which one I need. My budget is about £40.

PC build:

Asus M4A87TD motherboard
Nvidia gtx 460 768mb graphics card
AMD phenom 2 dual core processor (will unlock to quad core hopefully :) )
OCZ 4GB (2X2GB) DDR3 memory
Samsung SATA II 500GB hdd (16mb cache)
Samsung dvd drive

Currently I have chosen the Huntkey balance king 500W psu, but I don't know whether this is the right choice or not.
Some advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks! :)
p.s. A quick note on whether the above stated RAM is compatible would also be useful. I think it is but I'm not 100% certain.

Take a look at the Antec Basiq 500W or a Thermaltake 500w, im not sure about pricing it should be simillar, just because they're better brands :) but that PSU should be fine that build isn't power demanding. And yes that RAM is compatible with the motherboard. Enjoy your build :D
