Maybe getting a smaller/cheaper monitor? Only if you want to keep price down, otherwise it's good :)

dro[p it to a 500 watt psu.  that is way expensive for a psu.  i got my rm1000 for 120 3 years ago, you should be able to get a cx500 for 40 to 50 bucks

Stop recommending that PSU right now... its a horrible PSU

other than the 3 ive got with no failures and no doa's? dude, it works great, the warranty is fine, and they get seriously cheap

your experience doesn't mean its good, look at it generally, it uses low quality components, also if it gets hot welp, you're screwed. 

 

its meant for really really low end PC's like i3's and what not. not meant for gaming or video editing

look closer at the psu recommendation.  if not using ludicrous stuff in your systems, its great.  the problem comes from people trying to oc things like i7s with dual gpu setups

for 40 bucks, a cx500 in a 400 watt system is god damn great

He will game on it. which means it will go to full load since the card is about the mid-end range, also same goes with the CPU

its not about how much room it has...... you know what, this argument is useless, keep buying cx, cxm and cs powersupplies, I'll eventually win this argument.
