Quote - a quality power supply is also a must. DO NOT cheap out on a power supply. you should be getting a quality unit from Seasonic, PC Power & Cooling, Enermax or Antec.  Corsair is also OK, but i no longer buy them because i have two that have really annoying capacitor whine even at only 50% of their rated load.

 

Okay, I'm no expert but I did talk to one about this once.  For your PSUs, which brand you pick partially should be determined by how clean your power is for where the PC will be.  Enermax is good if you have clean power I heard.  Some others will be more reliable if your power is dirty.  Also get one with a good surge response time: it could limit the damage the rest of your PC takes if something happens.

WARK!
