The wattage is plenty, but that make of power supply is NOT GOOD.

The power supply is the most important part of your computer - cheap ones are more likely to fail, and when they do, they can explode, light your computer on fire, or fry one or more parts.

Reference the power supply tier list to get a feeling for what brands are reliable - the list is old, but for the most part, the brands producing reliable products are the same: http://www.eggxpert.com/forums/thread/323050.aspx

CM has a bad reputation, despite being non-generic, when it comes to psu's. there are lots of brands out get, get a different one

Hey DarkSable , thx for the quick reply man
I was very skeptical going for the Coolermaster one , just checked the link which you posted and I think I can afford something from the 2nd Tier .
Hope the Seasonic S12II 620 Watts PSU will do the job

Hi , tx for the quick reply ;-) , yes i researched a bit you are absolutely correct about CM's rep with PSU's so I'll go with Seasonic S12II 620 Watts PSU , what do you think ?

thanks

going 620 just for future upgrades and theres not much price diff between 620W and 520W

The Coolermaster thunder 500 isn't a good quality PSU.

Get the best ...SEASONIC.
