Hi I’m building a pc and need help.

I have bought so far
-Radeon r7 250 2gb
- intel core i5 3570-3.4 quad processor
-cool master hyper evo 212 cpu cooler
-cit f3 black micro ATX gaming pc case 12cm green LED fan usb 3.

I have an old pc Im stripping the ram, hard drive and dvd drive out, the pc make is hp sg3-230uk, all I need is a pci 16x lga 1155 motherboard and power supply.

Any suggestions on a low budget good quality power supply and motherboard to buy, the motherboard is ok to be second hand and will the hard drive, ram and dvd drive all work.

The hp sg3-230uk hasn’t been modified in any way and I have a mouse, keyboard and monitor.

My advice is to never cheap out on the psu. Depending on your country, some are better and some are worse. Corsair, rosewill, and a few others make good power supplies.

Something like a Corsair vs650 650w work alright?

Definetly. If it’s cheaper I’d recommend the Corsair CXM 450 watt psu. I have it and I have no issues at all.
