Making my first AM2 computer.

Trust me the rosewill you picked is good and will last. It has overload protection so even if it is bad it wont take stuff with it.

don't pay any attention to newegg reviews, 99% of them are completely useless. they often have nothing relevant to say about the item's quality or reliability. if the thing turns on they say it's awesome, it they make a mistake they blame it on a faulty component and say it's a bad item (when the item itself was fine).

watts are not important. +12V amperage, tight voltage regulation, and reliable protection circuitry are the most important factors to look for. 400 watts is more than enough if the PSU has strong 12V rails.

yes, newegg is good about RMA's, but do you really want that aggravation? IMHO, it would be wiser to buy a known reputable brand than risk losing your system to a PSU with unknown reliability.

...but it's your money... good luck :wave:

The only bad Rosewill's i've gotten have been DOA. There was one model I used a while back that was absolute hell... I wish I could remember which one it was

I'm pretty certain that only the absolute cheapest PSU's, such as PowMax or those that come bundled with cheap cases, will take out components of your system if they die - if they even die.

I agree with KingCody though, Newegg reviews are usually just fanboys or people with limited experience.
