Alright, here is (hopefully) the last post I'll have to make about this computer. I'm going to ordering the parts today. My only question is do you think the MOBO/PSU/Monitor are trustworthy in this build? http://pcpartpicker.com/list/Nj7CJV

 

Thanks for all of your help,

CobbleWalker

Mobo yes, PSU no, monitor is decent for the price. I use two of those monitors at work and have no complaints. Try this PSU on for size:

I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.

personally for the amount of power that his computer is demanding, which isnt much, he could go for a cheap option such as this.

 I have that PSU lol. Cost was the main factor in choosing that part. Are there any Seasonic units in the price range of the PSU I selected.
