Also are the PSU good as usually unbranded one are complete shit and only output like 300W... so any advice on that thanks

I cant do any better than that unless your able to push your budget abit then i would recommend a caviar black drive

From what i have always been told about PSU's the branded ones like corsair will provide a constant supply of whatever rating they have so a 650W will give that ammount all the time yet the unbranded PSU's and i am not saying all basically give the maximum output they will give and the constant supply can be anything below.

I will second Teaz's advice on the caviar black if you can manage it as it will be well worth while.

I was going to get a better HDD after i've got it as my budgets tight

 

[Fear]

They are only suggestions for if you can and if you can't then thats that or maybe you can wait another month till you could ? it's always best to wait to get something better than get it straight away and waste money with a part you don't want.
