Im Building the following

Pressler 3.0ghz
Asrock Mobo
2GB ram
X850xt
200gb hdd

Now i have ran out of money would one of the psu's which come with the cases be able to power this until i can afford a decent psu?

The psu in the case is a Winpower 450W PSU
 
Yes, thast should do it, but it may not have a PCI-E graphic card connecter.

I would suggest finding out if it does, if it doesn't, just wait until you have enough cash for a decent PSU

Wont need more than 450W anyway
 
It will be fine. If it doesn't have a PCI connecter...

Akasa PCI Express 6 Pin to 4 Pin Power cable adaptor for PCI-E Graphics Cards (CB-018-AK)
Allows you too use PCI-Express graphics cards with a 6 pin connector with older Power Supplies that only have 4 pin molex connectors.

Price: £2.95 (£3.47 Including VAT at 17.5%)
 
Two things to be aware of.

1: You can't measure the power in total watts, you need to look at the wattage of the 12v rail to get an idea of the power.

2: Cheap psu's have a tendancy to do damage to things connected to them when or if they die. They are usually ok for basic low spec machines but for a gaming machine they aren't particularly suitable.

I would swap 1gb of ram for a better psu myself.
