You are correct, that PSU is not a good choice.

Also, is it ok for what? What's its use?

Check out the sticky 'how to ask for newbuild and upgrade advice' and post back.

Sorry about that...first time posting here...ashamed to say that I can't find "how to ask for newbuild and upgrade advice".. I want this rig for working and occasional gaming.
