^ From where are you buying the part ? And budget ? gaming PC ??

 

[Guest]

buying everything but power supply and ram from newegg, already have the psi (but could swap it out for a 700 if absolutely necessary). budget is about what its priced at now, not looking to spend much more. and its going to be for light to medium gaming nothing too intense(just basically enough to game for the next at least year or 2)

i don't really plan on crossfiring, so would the 600 be good enough for what i have? i think it will be but not 100% sure

 

[Guest]

and yes the psu is siting on my desk lol, and i also forgot to mention the graphics card will be a later addition so i need the integrated from the board i have picked out

 

[gkay09]

^ Then its fine, stick with your current setup, and yes 600W would suffice for even HD 6970,...

HDD - Get this one - Samsung F3 1TB, faster, more space and right now for $50

the fact that its sata2 and not sata3 won't matter?

^^ No,... SATA 3 for mechanical HDD is just a marketing gimmick,... those have yet to saturate the SATA 2 bandwidth, so no point going SATA 3,...
