Well, the time has come again, for me to upgrade my computer. Which I don't want to do, cause this thing is a hunk of crap, so I'm building a new one from scratch. Now, it's nothing spectacular or anything, no expensive PSUs. I'll be going for the PSU case combo (lol?)
case/psu - http://www.canadacomputers.com/index...614&cid=CS.664
mobo - http://www.canadacomputers.com/index...995&cid=MB.526
hdd - http://www.canadacomputers.com/index...8657&cid=HD.96
cpu - http://www.canadacomputers.com/index...24&cid=CPU.907
ram - http://www.canadacomputers.com/index...68&cid=RAM.475
video card - http://www.canadacomputers.com/index...id=999.243.390
optical drive - http://www.canadacomputers.com/index...075&cid=CR.184
Optional additions:
speakers - http://www.canadacomputers.com/index...=012161&cid=SP
mouse/keyboard - http://www.canadacomputers.com/index...434&cid=PE.826
So, I went with a small video card, I won't be gaming on it, just general use. And could someone tell me if that hdd will work with it or not? Thanks! |

I know your trying to save money, but it isn't wise to go for a cheap PSU.

Yea, a cheap PSU, isn't a smart choice. It is one of the most, if not, most important component in the PC. If the PSU, blows out, theres a chance it could take down everything else with it.

From memory the Thermaltake PSU's aren't the best. I could be wrong. I would go for that Antec Smart Power 2.0

mistaken identity i guess 
i could have sworn i'd seen you posting on OCAU and seeing as i spend 99% of mu time on the trading section i presumed that's where i'd seen you.
