Go for the Silverstone Strider Plus 600w PSU and get the short cable kit. It's about $120 in total but will make life much easier. What sort of gaming are you going to do?
I cant get the silverstone strider with the short cable kit because pccg is quite far from where i live and im not allowed to buy it online (im 14)

so im getting the parts from centrecom in sunshine and they dont sell it
