Default New Power supply
im going to buy a new power supply so i can upgrade to a dual core processor, but i want to know if this is a smart choice. i am low on cash, and this one is cheap and powerful. Dynex® 400-Watt ATX CPU Power Supply. its sold only at best buy, so im not sure if it is a wise choice.
