RAM and Power Supply? please help

[kSwiz]

I don't know which RAM is the best to buy. My computer says it is compatible with
"2GB kit (1GBx2)
DDR PC3200 • CL=3 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR400 • 2.6V • 128Meg x 64 • • Part #: CT1169916"
and here are my choices.(My computer can only handle 2gbs of RAM)

http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-ValueRAM-Desktop-KVR333-1GR/dp/B0009XD672


And for my power supply my graphics card says required 400watts but recommends 500watts. Would getting more watts be a good idea?
here are my options.

Hello,
For the RAM go w/ Kingston. It might be Value RAM, but it's still Kingston, so it does offer a few guarantees.

As for the PSU I would go with the CoolerMaster:

However, having a bit of extra power never hurt. You might want to install another HDD or something else.

Power supply wise I'd recommend this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139027 yes it's more expensive, but you're paying for extra quality, which is what you want in a PSU.

What graphics card do you have?

This would do it http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139026&Tpk=cx430

All the power supplies which are in your budget are really bad choices. A low-quality power supply, like the ones your found, turns into a really expensive one when it dies and takes your most of your system with it.

I am about to place my order on the SPU and RAM but what is the HDD you are talking about?

 

[FuryRosewood]

they were referring to installing an additional harddrive and wanting more power capacity to do that.

oh okay. do you agree that the kingston RAM would be best as well?

 

[kSwiz]

are most power supply's the same size? could I use the Cooler Master http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=RS-500-PCAR-D3-R&cat=PWR
with my eMachines W3503 computer? http://reviews.cnet.com/desktops/emachines-w3503/4507-3118_7-32178774.html
