Since a 300watt PSU would be cheaper, I made the suggestion of too much PSU.SOAPboy wrote:YourGrandpa wrote:Sounds like you've got too much PSU for that system. And do you really need a wireless NIC?
You might have cut a few bucks off the price.
to much psu?
A) Where you shop
B) If it was laying around anyways
C) If it came with the case
You can NEVER have to much psu, and ploping a slightly bigger one in for a whole 3 or 4 dollars more isnt the worst idea in the world..
You wont notice any difference beyond 2 second faster boot time on sata..riddla wrote:soapboy gives the most backwards-ass computer advice on this forum.

And
on sitting around on moms dime..[size=75][i]I once had a glass of milk.
It curdled, and then I couldn't drink it. So I mixed it with some water, and it was alright again.
I am now sick.

A) If you're shopping around. You'll always find a cheaper, less wattage PSU.SOAPboy wrote: Depends

B) He didn't say it was laying around.
C) He could have bought a cheaper case/PSU combo.
You can have too much PSU when you don't or never will need the extra power. If you're spending two or three more dollars on the PSU, why not spend a few more dollars on the memory and a few more dollars on a drive? I'll tell you why. BECUASE YOU'RE TRYING TO SAVE MONEY. Which is quite the opposite of spending a few more dollars on something. Besides, he's not building the PC for himself. He's building it for some shlub that dosen't know much or need much.
So, when the "shlub" goes "ohh this looks pretty" and starts adding lights and shit? or adding dvd burners, ect?YourGrandpa wrote:A) If you're shopping around. You'll always find a cheaper, less wattage PSU.SOAPboy wrote: Depends

Its not bad to have the power, he can reuse that case and PSU later and save money taht way..
