Hi Bryon,

It's been a few years since I've done a custom build on a personal PC too, and honestly I'd have a hard time knowing where to start. It seems most times you can now buy a computer already assembled and cheaper without having to assemble things.

The power was a concern to me looking at just what I use in my personal system (650). If you're going to be running an extra drive, USB powered devices, cd/DVD, powered headphones etc and then of course all the internal fans you may want to consider a higher power unit.

My biggest issue with newer systems these days is that the cooling just isn't the greatest so I usually have 4 to 6 fans operating in the system.
