Gigabyte also make a decent PS

While I have never personally used Gigabyte PS's previously they like the Antec ones are rated for a Constant Value unlike the majority that are ratted to Peek Values which is a amount of Wattage that they can produce for short periods of time and not the full Ratting constantly without producing problems.

using the Thermaltake PSU calculator ( http://tinyurl.com/5dyaj3 ) for the specification given, you should not need more than the stock 300W PSU with the case (double check for yourself, you will know what is going into the computer better than we will)

if you think of it as an investment and you are looking after your new PC you really need a good PSU. I would go for at least 550W because you never know what you might add to the system at a later stage and the extra wattage won't be wasted. Antec PSU's are good value for the money that you pay for them.

well believe it or not the stock 300W PSU works great...no problems. the only reason i cant go bigger because it is a rare form factor that is only sold by the MFG of the case. and they only make it in 300W. no more no less. everything works now. thanks for your help. this was my first build (im 14). so i gave my self a pat on the back. yay.

putting my first PC together and the feeling of elation when it actually worked. I checked and rechecked and checked again before applying the power and I admit that I was a nervous nelly awaiting the outcome. All was good though. Then I took the bait, hook line and sinker. I haven't stopped building my own PC's.

I don't know what your future plans are but at your age the world is an oyster. I hope that you have continued success in your future endevours. Not bad, not bad at all for someone your age and you should be proud of yourself.
