im getting ready to buy my comp but i need a good psu that would work with all of my components. 600w prefered. i dont want it to blow up or anything so trusted company as well. http://imgur.com/5zerMpy
I would recommend the Rosewill Hive 550w. It's 80 Plus Bronze certified and is modular so you won't have to work with so many cables. I would also like to ask, why are you getting a micro-atx motherboard?

They all suck. They just suck differently. Sort of like prostitutes.

i dont know, this is my first build, i need opinions. if you could give me a good mobo within the price range of ~$85 i would be happy for any suggestions.

Well what is this computer going to be used for? I assume you won't be overclocking since you aren't getting an aftermarket CPU cooler and you aren't spending much on the motherboard. If that's correct then I would start by downgrading the CPU to an i5 3450 and the motherboard to an H77 chipset.

I would go with the B75 motherboard in this build instead since it's the cheapest ATX motherboard and is still very good. I've changed the CPU to an i5 3350P as well since you won't be overclocking.

Wouldn't the 3570 or something be a better idea for only a few extra dollars, by choosing a CPU with no GPU it'd be really inconvenient if the gpu ever needed to be RMA'd if the OP has no spare graphics card.

The 3570 is actually $15 more. The 3330 would probably be a better choice since it's only a few more dollars and has integrated graphics. It's .1GHz slower, but that difference is unnoticeable.

Either or, just pointing out that no backup GPU is shooting yourself in the foot if it's only a question of a few dollars.

Ya, it's good that you pointed it out. AMD has the graphics integrated into the motherboard(or at least they did) so that was something I didn't have to worry about.
