Trust us Grim. When you get the garbage PSUs that come with cases, 1 year down the road you'll come to us saying "Well, a fire came out of my PSU" We'll say "Well, time to rebuild because your PSU probably took the rest of your system with it. Yes, the ABSOLUTE MINIMUM PSU wattage you need in there is 500, even that is pretty tight. Your parts may run, sure, but they probably won't be performing where they should be.

One of the number one rules of building a computer is, "Don't go cheap on the PSU"
