Here. Much more FPS. And orange build! It has been a REALLY long time since I did one of those.....

 

Anyway, I hope that you have an HD to fit inside. Else, your PC isn't booting. Well... I guess you could try booting it from an external USB 3.0 drive... but I wouldn't try it if I were you.........

I know, the PSU is overkill, but it is cheap and better than the EVGA XR.

guys that PSU is totally overkill, I dont want to spend $100 on a Fricken PSU

Better get an expensive PSU to be safe.

More expensive PSU from a good brand(corsair,EVGA,CM) will be safer than a sketchy 20$ no-name PSU manufactuer that claims to produce the same wattage.

Also if your PSU is bad, IT CAN KILL EVERY SINGLE COMPONENT OF YOUR PC.

tl;dr: More expensive psu from a reputable brand = longer lifespan - better quallity

        Sketchy 20$ PSU = less - no reliablity and high chance of killing every single component of your PC

Check out on the build I suggested. It's only 78$.

 

If you REALLY want to lower it, just get a good 80+ Bronze PSU. Like this one: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/rosewill-power-supply-arcm550
