Wattage doesn't matter.. thats a better brand name, Raidmax makes bad PSU (check out sticky)
Aww man, I'm a noob! *Bangs head against wall*

Just read those threads, they helped a lot. Well, at least I learned something new. :o

Alright, so, I still like what I chose.

(Brace yourself, another noob question coming) If I get this 450vx that was recommended before, will that be able to power a higher end card like the 9600 or 9800? Because eventually I will upgrade the graphics card.

I realize that the psu that comes with the case i chose is not that good, so I'll save a bit more for a reliable one. I want to be sure that I have a good (and cool looking ) case with enough room for expansion (these graphics cards are getting big), and a power supply that's reliable and will be enough to upgrade parts.
