I've decided a 400W one would make it more stable... and a monitor so i have 2 17 inchers.... and use the CRT one with the new one and the rather not so flat one for this one im using ATM.

My GeForce MX 420 is merely temporary, as the Base Unit I'm buying doesn't come with a decent 3D card, just some crappy on built thing, and I wasn't planning on buying a bigger and better card as that would add to the cost, and cost is something I'm trying to keep as low as possible.
I'll upgrade to a better graphics card a few months after I buy my new computer, but for the time being, the MX 420 will have to do.
