A critical mistake made by a lot of system builders is to focus only on CPUs and GPUs, and not care about things like a quality power supply. I learned this the hard way.
A couple of years ago I built a kick butt system and used a cheap power supply. I was looking at total wattage, because that's what really matters, right? WRONG! The cheap power supply caused voltage spikes, and within a week the spikes ended up killing my motherboard, CPU and video card. My losses BY FAR outweighed the $30 or $40 I saved by going cheap. Please don't make the same mistake!

Is that the same thing? If so then thats even cheaper than the Coolmaster 520, and thats enough? Like with the whole safty thing that vix said?
