(If this site has to ability to put that copy/paste into a spoiler tab thing please tell me how lol)
The site says this computer is fine and that it will work well. But according to a friend of my dads (who i've never met) I will need a more powerful power supply. But pcspecialist says for this system that i only need a 350W supply so the 450W one i have chosen should be fine right?
I want to use this pc for gaming and recording videos for youtube. Will it be any good for that and will i need a better power supply? Also the motherboard onlysupports 3GB/s and the HDD is 6GB/s. Is a motherboard with 6GB/s support really worth it? (p.s. im on a budget)
