stock may not be the greatest but it should be enough watts but the rails might be really bad

Im runnin my box on a Vantec 420W ... i dont need to suggest that its not using anywhere near 400W (a wattmeter can confirm that).

rails? sry computer noob
Look at the cables coming from your PSU. There will be a bunch that the same types of connectors on them (usually 2 or 3 of these cables). Each such cable is a rail
