thanks! but would the build run fine? read the gpu required 500W

 

[cutebeans]

Hi, it would. Don't worry. They state it as 500w because most people do not buy quality units.

 

[Lramirez]

okay thanks, 1 more thing 😀 know any good wifi card that can be installed? :/ hope that memory is restocked during December. Thanks for all the help so far
