well shyt let me ask more specific questions

1) How important is power supply quality? whats a good benchmark
2) I see 8GB ram everywhere, are there differences?
3) I have lists for GPU and CPUs, What should i look for in a hard drive?(RPM specifically, is 7200 the norm or is everyone on 10,000 now)

Check what you're video card recommends. With only one card you don't need more than 700w. Get a good name brand like Antec or Corsair. Gaming will kill a crappy PSU

700 Watts is more than enough to play games like Diablo. Get something in your price range that got atleast 4 stars if u still on newegg.

Dont stress about that sh!t unless u gonna throw multiple video cards, extra optical drives, extra harddrives etc in your box, then u gonna have to worry about if that power supply can support everything.

so its safe to say this is probably a safe bet?
