Thanks, but doesn't really answer my question

The one i specced is good enough yeh?

Yes but don't you need ram and what is your budget.

Biz.Kid09 · 13 Feb 2011 at 00:19

I said that i was getting ram elsewhere in OP.
As cheap as possible really.

yeah should be ok with your spec if your using onboard graphics that psu should cope ok.

make sure you have a molex to sata power adaptor though as the psu only has 2 sata and 2 molex connectors on it (the product description is wrong) and they are on separate cables so if the optical drive is at the top and the hard drive at the bottom of the case you cant use the 2 sata power connectors to power both as they are on one cable and the 2 molex's are on the other.
