Pi-guy is building a huge new

[7H3]

AMD Athlon II 3 core processor (not overclocked) 3.3 GHz
video card hmm its AMD line, but don't remember the number 6 7/8 00 its 1080p and 3d capable
500GB HDD main
120GB HDD back up
my window's experience rating is 5.9 now, but before it was 7 or 8 ish

Could anyone help me with the power supply?

[7H3]

I just used one from an older computer... otherwise just check out newegg.com

[the-pi-guy]

Okay.  So all my stuff came in. 
Now the big question is whether I should set it up or wait and get a different PSU.

Just set it all up and have fun.

Or is your current PSU that bad?

I was hoping to keep my current computer as is, but I asked a friend for my other PSU back, and he gave me a different one and I'm not sure if it'll do any good. 
He apparently opened it up to fix the fan, and I don't think it has been tested.

My 10yr old psu was in my current pc and died so I replaced it with my 5 yr old psu and its been fine since...maybe test the older psu in the older computer first

Weighing my options on my PSU first.  Going to give it some time I think. 

Anyway, though I really love the look of the parts. 
The case looks awesome, the RAM looks awesome, the motherboard looks awesome.  CPU looks like a CPU.

PSU stuff has been the most frustrating thing for me so far.  Reading reviews, opinions, forums, professional reviews, thinking, weighing options. 

And finally I decided that I am going to wait and buy one on Thursday and I should get it on Wednesday the next week.  So, less than 2 weeks. 

The one I'm looking at is overkill.  But it is delicious overkill.

Meh, just buy a trusted brand with enough watts to go around

What should I take pictures of?

I'm planning for room for expansion later.

Hopefully 2 days.
