Since u will change to SSF, I think HX520 will be better as it is modular...correct me if I am wrong...

Silverstone ST400 should be enuf for you edy...and the price is below RM200...ur PC spec not consume so much power actually...ST400 still can support even if u do some minor upgrade (I say minor...)

Can an Acbel E2 Power 510 (450W) provide enough juice for a Radeon HD 4850?? It's true power if I'm not mistaken...

Need advice...
