Best power supply with this build?

[Marilyn1958]

Hi there, my current computer build isn't working and I suspect that the power supply may be to blame. Can someone recommend a good power supply with my build? Obviously this is a budget build so I'd like to keep it cheap, but I still want it to work.
A motherboard recommendation would be nice too. If you link to any parts, use newegg. Thanks

Check out this list of PSU's. Tier 1 or tier 2 is the way to go. Nice dependable units.

Here also is a power supply calculator. By putting in what you have, it will recommend what PSU to buy.

Also, here is a great deal on a motherboard if you're okay with rebates.

This, while still not perfect, and not knowing your budget, would be a FAR better system that what you had outlined. That had problems on many levels. For the price, you could do much worse than this. In the future, try to avoid low end Biostar motherboards and Logisys power supplies as well. And honestly, for a gaming machine, 8GB of RAM is more than enough. Especially on an entry level system that's unlikely to see the use of high end applications. Games won't utilized more than 8GB of RAM, especially anything you'll be able to run on a GTX 750 TI. So you could shave a few more bucks off by going with the second listed build instead.
