Should be fine even tho i would get a 600W psu

Beware of him that is slow to anger; for when it is long coming, it is the stronger when it comes, and the longer kept. Abused patience turns to fury.

I know but even tho the psu has all the connectors i don't know how it would perform at high loads.I usually get a higher psu just to have some extra wattage so the psu won't hit high loads.I had a very bad experience once i almost burned down the house and since then...well i am kinda affraid

Thanks guys. :)
Do I really need more than 4GB of RAM? Are there actually games that would use all the RAM under normal circumstances on highest 1080p settings?
