Is This A good build for a PC?
I am building a normal pc. The things i will use are:
RAIDMAX Typhoon ATX-312WS Black / Silver SECC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
CORSAIR Builder Series CX430 V2 430W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply------ OR------- APEVIA ATX-CW500WP4 500W ATX Power Supply
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor HDZ965FBGMBOX
MSI 880GMA-E53 AM3 AMD 880G SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
Seagate Barracuda ST31000524AS 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL
Questions:
Do all of these wok together?
Which PSU do I get Corsair or Apevia?
Is 430W or 500W enough power?
Any suggestions about PSU would be helpful or anything else
Or shoudl i get this PSU
CORSAIR Builder Series CX600 V2 600W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply
the Corsair CX series psu's aren't the best. if you can spend $70 for a power supply i recommend the
XFX Core Edition PRO550W (P1-550S-XXB9) 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified, Active PFC

with this power supply you can add later a high performance graphics card up to an HD 6970 or GTX 580 without a problem.
it's a decent build that will suffice for everyday computing. the integrated HD 4250 graphics isn't too bad and you still have the option to upgrade if it should be necessary for your needs.
