and you still buy it after everyone told you not to, and no, a 400 watts will most likely not be enough energy. I don't think most 400 watts PSU even have a 6 pin connector.

I personally use a 750w PSU, but I run dual GPUs, so I'd say try 600w if you buy a new one.

ok then, thanks.... but yh, i cant afford a 100 pounds mobo, dude, one more question..... if i connect it to the 400w, would something happen to the graphic card/processor ?

Probably won't start up at all. The purpose of a more expensive mobo is that its waaaay easier to upgrade with them, you have 2 ram slots, what if you wanted more or wanted to crossfire.

Amazon.com: Cooler Master RS550-PCARE3-US eXtreme Power Plus Series 550W ATX12V V2.3 Active PFC Power Supply (Black): Electronics

That will probably be enough to run your system. i3 and 6850 usually doesn't take that much wattage.

Why are you trying to connect a 400w to it when he just told you it wouldn't be enough?

BTW, if you're gonna buy a cheap PSU, stay away from Rosewill, Diablotek, Coolmax, and Logisys, those are trash brands are usually 100 wattage lower than it states it is, IE, 500 watt Coolmax PSU is around 350-400 watts.

Your graphics card needs a 6 pin connector.
