Anything in the section for mid-range gaming card should be fine for this build. Antec Neo Eco is good value for ~$50. These are a lot better manufactured than the stuff you find in almost all case/psu combos (the only exception really being the few antec combo's that come with the neo eco model...)

So whats wrong with the COOLERMASTER ELITE 371 500W PSU? D:

I'm not exactly the biggest expert on exactly how the specs of every individual PSU affect the performance, but the wiki i linked to says the following: "Most of the PSU's Coolermaster brand are midrange budget/value models, whilst they will get the job done there are usually better options at the same price levels."


Most of the coolermaster models are actually manufactured by other companies, not necessarily ones with a reputation for making quality products. Even Coolermaster's own website doesn't make it immediately clear what model of PSU is coming with that case.

You are buying a product you know nothing about, not even who manufactures it. I don't normally like to do that. If you do, go ahead.
