Get a better power supply such as the Corsair CX450M or the Seasonic S12II. The rest looks fine.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

I am going to agree on this ^^

 

Get a 80+ rated PSU instead. And the rest of the hardware is just fine.

why my recomended is 300 watts i got 500

It's not the amount of power the PSU can output that is the problem, but rather the quality of the power supply itself. It's rubbish.

You should add an SSD for better boot times.

+1 for @HKZeroFive's suggestion on the PSU, those are much better quality and last longer.

i trust cooler master tho and btw do i need to buy a cpu cooler?

Being picky about brands is just stupid, it's a waste of money to be loyal to a specific brand. Yes you need a CPU cooler, but a Intel stock cooler is included with their locked CPUs (It's pretty crap, but fine if not overclocking). 

Please quote our replys so we get a notification and can reply easily. Never cheap out on a PSU, or I will come to watch the fireworks.

Meanwhile, an EVGA White scores far better while being about the same price. http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story6&reid=431

 

A SeaSonic M12/S12 would be a FAR better purchase though. Cooler Master may make decent cases and fans, but crappy PSU's.

Don't shop by brand. Shop by model. If you want a CM power supply, get the V550.

is a Cooler Master Elite V2 550W  a good Power Supply cuz i can get dat 50% off

I'll repeat myself again. No.

 

You do realise that a power supply is one of the most important parts in a PC? It's the part that powers everything. If it breaks or shuts down, it may take some components as well with it. If you can invest $360 on a GTX 1060, you can invest more on that power supply.

 

Get the Corsair CX550M.
