400W as a MINIMUM
go for a 'brand' name as the PSU is NOT the place for cheap :p
the akasa AK-P460FG BLV2 gets CustomPC's thumbs up as best budget buy PSU [approx $100 US]
as opposed to the seasonic S12-600 which is their top dog at approx $180 US.

Hey, I am trying to keep the case and the PSU under $70. All I need is a 400 PSU. Those the case really make a difference if I go cheap on it? Like, if I buy an expensive PSU and a cheap case.
hmmm... I would up your case and PSU budget to at least 100 bucks... Your PSU is really more important then your case, but you have to make sure your case has good airflow and it's usually a good idea to get a case that already has fans installed, like a side fan and a fan on top, etc... Also it's said that the cheaper the case usually the more flimsy the metal is...
you want cheap ........ buy cheap, then when it fails, buy the stuff that's being suggested.
THere's NEVER enough money to do it right first time, but there's always money to repair / replace :confused: :p
we're not giving the expensive stuff here, just good quality, at a reasonable price ......
you might need to sit down and rethink your budget ...........
What about this one?
Antec Sonata Quiet PC Case 380W Power Supply
Its selling for $100
I found this one..Cooler Master Centurion CAC-T05-UR, its for $50.00, and I can purchase a really good power supply. Like a 400 watt one. What brand should I buy?
CORSAIR XMS 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Dual Channel Kit System Memory.
What about this for my memory?
I got 3 things to say...
One, adding onto what foxyloxley said, say you buy a cheap PSU and case, it's likely you could ruin your expensive motherboard, CPU and video card.... among other parts...
Two, power supplies that come with cases are usually not good quality...
Three, there is no need to make 3 posts in a row, there is an edit feature...
***edit***
One more thing, it usually helps if you supply links...
This is the RAM......(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145450)
This is the powersupply(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817103935)
This is the CASE.....(Cooler Master Centurion CAC-T05-UR)...(http://www.custompc.co.uk/custompc/r...-cact05ur.html)
Thanks........
I think those are good IMO, the only thing I'd change is the case simply because I don't like the way it looks :p...
And I really wish you would get a little better of a PSU... but that's your choice...
But from a technical point of view, everything looks decently good...
