    well its the same price i paid for mine, but its better, mine doesnt have the 4sata power cables, only 1, doesnt have pci-express power at all.

    considering i just changed my motherboard to a gigabyte if i ever updated the graphics card it will be pci-express connection. on board graphics at the moment. and it only has connections for sata drives. so i had to get a couple of molex - sata splitters. luckily i had 2.

    The ebay seller of the PSU that i had linked to has smaller PSU's available if price is a issue,

    500watt for £13.49. either with 3 molex and 1 sata or 2molex and 2 sata depending on your requirements.

    they also do a 750watt for £21.99 exactly the same connections as the 650watt i posted above just 100watts more power, due to the power requirements of the PCI-express card I'm thinking off buying it might pay me to get that one. if and when i get a graphics card, probably next year,
    spent enough on this new system build as it is.
