What are the specs of the PC that you're planning on using this PSU with?
Also budget?

For that kind of setup, you wouldn't need anything over a 400W PSU. As such I recommend this PSU:
Corsair 400CX 400W PSU - $50
And you still haven't answered the budget question.
Corsair 400CX 400W PSU - $50
And you still haven't answered the budget question.

Integrated graphics? Yes the Corsair 400W is more than enough, with its max of +12V@30A.

You still don't need more than the Corsair 400CX PSU I linked to above.

As Danny's been saying all thread, that PSU will serve you just fine and is a good quality and reliable PSU.

higher wattage =!= greater reliablility. keep that in mind.
its like putting 91 octane or higher in a stock corolla... why would you do that? it doesnt even make use of the higher octane rating.

But, higher is better if you plan on ever upgrading in the future. Spend the money now.....instead of now and later. 75$ now < 40$ now 75$ later. My other system uses a Corsair VX550, great PSU, paid 75$
