it's fine, but I would upgrade to around 450-500 if I was upgrading sience you don't want to be upgrading ur PSU every 2 years

First of all the only PSU that I can find which are greater that 400Watt are the Enermax range. From reading various reviews they have poor performance on the 5volt rail which the CPU uses.

Can you believe it but I cannot get a 400Watt PSU in the country I live in. The only PSU I can get is 300Watt which suxs. However I purchased my sparkle today form dabs and english company for 71 pounds sterling.....grrrrr and the carriage was another 25 sterling grrrrrrrrr......

hate that.....

I don't have any family or friends in the US. And most online stores from US do not do International orders which is a bummer....

Stick around Paul and you will see how great this place is. I know of no other site that would do such a favor. I would do it for you if I didn't have to leave for college so soon.
