How good do you honestly think a $13 PSU will be? Get this instead: Newegg.com - CORSAIR CMPSU-400CX 400W ATX12V V2.2 80 PLUS Certified Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply - Power Supplies

You're definitely running an IDE DVD drive? And only one hard drive? Because that power supply only comes with one SATA power connector.

Also, are you sure you need 4GB of memory? Lower-powered systems, especially if you're not running Vista, are often just fine with only 2GB of memory, and you're blowing nearly 1/4 of your budget on memory right now.

Well, that power supply's pretty much got zero expansion room, it specs say that it's using a design that's several years old, and you can probably flip a coin to see whether or not it's actually reliable at its rated capacity. If this person wants a powerful computer, that's fine. But it's going to cost him - he gets to choose whether he pays now or later. Even one of Antec's second tier PSU's would be an improvement that Logisys tin can.

ANYTHING is better than Logisys. I'd even take Raidmax or Rosewill over that.
