Would this PSU be able to feed with ease all my components?

- Motherboard
- CPU

Peripherals would be 2 HD Monitors and a 4 Bay External enclosure with esata connection

Thank you

Without telling us WHAT CPU, WHAT Graphics Card, we can't answer that. I'm leaning towards no because you have 8 (I assume) SATA drives while your PSU has 4 SATA and 3 Molex.

Judging by the description, you have a very low-quality PSU, which is good only as a paperweight

Don't skimp on the PSU, its probably the only part of a computer that can span multiple generations.. my HTPC is running off a 9 year old Antec PSU for example, from the AMD 64 era, still running strong.

Think of the PSU as an investment more than anything else.

well that description belongs to a FSP 80 GOLD certified 400W. So now you can decide if it is ONLY good as a paperweight

CPU is the Intel i5 3570 not overclocked
Graphics card is a modest nVidia GeForce 240 GTS 1GB

All caps usually equate to crap products, but it sounds like an alright PSU (if not better). 400W shouldn't be a problem with your setup, but I'm not too familiar with the 240 GTS' power draw.

You've got to be kidding. You're saying that the OP's copy/paste of a description from a Newegg page, with the description showing up as all caps, makes the ps a junk unit?

Really?

Hahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa!
