Hi, i got a super noob question here ..
i plan to build a pc myself and i asked recommendation here

The motherboard : GigaByte GA-G31M-S2L mainboard (SATA)
PSU : CoolerMaster Extreme Power Plus 460W PSU (IDE)

so, can i fit this 2 together since 1 is SATA and another is IDE?

thanx !!

not really, may i know ? >_<

lolz, i know already, psu no need care about sata or ide =o=

Hi, question here..

Whats the difference between using good PSU and cheap PSU?

i trying to build a new pc and some1 recommend me to use
CoolerMaster Extreme Power Plus 450W PSU

and my question is why do we need such an expensive PSU compare to the cheap 1 like >RM60? what will happen if i use the cheap PSU?

Intel Core 2 Duo E7300
GigaByte GA-G31M-S2L mainboard
2GB Kingston DDR2-800 Value RAM (2 x 1GB)
Palit 9600GT 512MB GDDR3
Lite-On 20x SATA DVDRW
Seagate 320GB SATA HDD
CoolerMaster Extreme Power Plus 450W PSU
ATX casing without PSU

Thanx ^^

ooic, so can i use other brand of PSU instead of Cooler Master? or as long as it is 450W ?

btw, what about the casing? when choosing the casing, how do i know whether the casing suit my motherboard or not ?

Thanx

oo!! then how do we know the efficiency % of each PSU ?

i think i know edy

is it (DC Output) / (AC Input) = Efficiency ?

btw, wads the efficiency of this psu? (sry, the pic gt bit blur)
