Hi, I am building my own pc and this is what i got so far for parts... And i already bought the case its the black Apevia X-Cruiser.

I would just like to know if it will all work together properly, especially if the PSU can support the graphics card for amps cause I really dont understand that part too much.

This one doesn't have the lights in it, but the Wattage shouldn't be an issue (950W), and it is only $6.10 Canadian more.

I am not familiar with the brand, but I am not familiar with Apevia either. I have yet to build myself a computer, so I am not familiar with a lot of the brands, mainly the bigger ones like Antec. Ask around and see if Coolmax is a good brand (or Apevia for that matter).

I do not know if the PSU would be enough. It may be, it may not be. Many times you can find the required wattage to support a part. I gave the link to the larger power supply because if you can't find the answer, and you are concerned it is better to be safe than sorry.

If will point out though the Apevia has poor ratings on NewEgg, so I would research that first.

Hope this helped.

I'm not loving the PSU either. It has an efficiency rating of only 70% which is lame. That should be 80% or better. Notice the one that jmcguire suggests has an 84% efficiency and an 80plus Silver certification. Much better!
