Re: Building a new comp. need help.
For your budget, I'd say your putting your money where it counts most to build a gaming system, in the video card and CPU. So thats a good thing. You could probably downgrade both a little and still have a nice system if you really want to cut corners. I'm not so sure I'd use such a cheap PSU with those parts though. Hopefully it doesn't give you problems down the road.Comment

I agree go with a Better PSU. A True 620watt or above. EG SevenTeam 620wattOriginally posted by Spongebob View PostComment
