Is a 450 gigawatt PSU enough for this new computer build?

Do you sometimes get sick of people asking if their power supply is enough to hand their components?

I do.

If your asking if your powersupply is good enough, that probably means you need a bigger one. That being said a good rule of thumb is your powersupply should be name brand and should cost at most 10% of whatever computer your building under 2000$ No less than 3 percent for 1000-2000 and no less than 8% for 500-1000

I think you left your sarcasm meter and your reading comprehension skills at the door. ;)

That's entirely too many smileys in one post, do you have any idea how many watts it takes to light up each and every smiley? Do ya? Well do ya punk?
