Do not cheap out on a power supply. "Generic" is likely to fail and take half your system with.

Have you already purchased this system?
What is your budget for what you still need?
What do you still need?
Where are you purchasing on?
Do you plan on overclocking?

Hi Novuake,

My budget is U$350 or lower.
I'm from the Philippines.

I haven't bought anything yet. Planning to get them all next week.
No plans on overclocking(don't know how).

Maybe I'll get an Antec VP-450w PSU. Is it good enough?

Which mobo has good capacitors that won't likely fail from overheating?

Something like that is fine for mild overclocking.

The Antec is better.

May I know the difference with the A55M chipset with the A75M one?
So Gigabyte huh? Okay that's good.

 

[Novuake]

The A55 chipset can not overclock at all.

The A75 can a little.

 

[iAmAdrian]

Okay I better go gigabyte A55m, it's cheaper anyway and I don't plan on OCing anytime soon.

450w PSU is enough for say 4 fans on the casing?

Thanks man.

 

[Novuake]

More than enough if its a decent PSU like that Antec.

Ok thank you.
