Planning to build a simple PC for my parents (and for me to tinker around once in a while), for them to use the Internet and for computer education purpose.

Okay...what about those cheap power supplies (see enclosed photo) ? If they are rated "422W" max, would it able to cope with a
i) AMD Athlon X2 (my Dream budget processor)..Pentium D or even old-tech Pentium 4 HT
ii) No external graphic card. (Using Integrated)
iii) A 80GB hard drive
I asked the sales guy..they said it can't cope with a Core2Duo.

never buy chap blang brand . not worth the efforts and your money....sugg: ENERMAX FMA II 460W. only RM 1XX
