POWER SUPPLY:

Seasonic G360 $47

this would be what i'd pick out of the lot. the G360 is enough wattage but you'll have to use a molex to 6pin adaptor for it. try corsair CX450M for $80 on bizgram IIRC if you don't want to risk it..

You're not buying brand new or even locally I suspect

Hopefully you have accounted for the RAM and case

Get the Xeon combo instead if you don't plan to overclock

Good luck

Yes I'm in Singapore too

the xeon will be better even if he overclocks
