Power Supply Question

You should be able to fit most PSUs in most cases.

If I where you I would get a good PSU now, and use that when you upgrade in the future.

You should also build your own rather than pay a premium for Packard bell and similar systems, that really arent premium in any way except price.
 
In theory yes, but some manufacturers like Packard Bell, HP & DELL do make certain cases which have unique PSU, Having looked at the web I think your system takes a STD ATX PSU. Which then should mean pretty much any PSU will fit.

I will not recommend a 600w PSU for that price as they will be inferior and poor quality models, can i ask what upgrades your making to your pc.
 
I would personally not touch that PSU.

(Not Loke's linked PSU ;), The updated OP.)

This was the RAM i was thinking of upgrading to, the PSU im still not 100% sure what to do
 
Could you post your whole spec on here? MB etc, I did google your PB machine name, but just want to be sure what you have already. Also how much money do you have to spend?

Ha ha, I have been temped in the past to get a XFX modular PSU, You can breath easy :D
 
 
No real reason, always tried to use Corsair in the past. So tend to stick with them or what-ever memory is cheaper at that particular time.

Edit: The PSU would be major overkill, unless your upgrading the whole system to dual high end gpu's :)

Ok, eventually i would like to upgrade more but it will not be anytime soon. Just wondered if why its on sale it was worth the purchase
 
Being non modular you will have a mass of cables, but for the price you cant go wrong.

But as I already mentioned would be overkill unless your running dual high Graphics like the GTX 580 and X79 system.
