I'm sorry to make you write a bit more, but could you explain to me what GPU, PSU and 500W is?

The most i know of computers is CPU and RAM.

And thank you for answering. Kind of you Smile
I'm saying it's an excellent price (low). And sure no problem. The GPU (graphical processing unit) is the piece of equipment that draws graphics on your computer screen. Anything you see when playing a game is controlled by the GPU. PSU stands for power supply unit and is the box-shaped thing in the back of your computer. It's responsible for supplying power to all of the equipment that needs it within the computer. 500W stands for 500 watts which is a measurement of energy, in this case meaning that the power supply can only supply 500 watts at a time. The newest games put an unspeakable amount of stress on your hardware, especially your graphics card, which is why it is important to have both good cooling and a good power supply. If you are playing an especially demanding game it is not unreasonable for the power usage to exceed 500 watts, especially if you are using two graphics cards (which some people do). Whatever you do, never cheap out on a power supply. If it overloads it is capable of irreparably damaging pretty much all of your system's components. 500 is the minimum for a modern gaming computer, 750 is OK (what I have), 850 is more than enough and 1000 and above is for overclockers and rich people.
