So I am about to order these 3 things (2 + a 2 item combo):

Combo (2nd one):

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductCombos.aspx?Item=N82E16814130332&SubCategory=48&SortField=0&PageSize=10&page=1

Motherboard:

Processor:

Now I need to know what power supply that I can get that is cheap and has about 400W. I got a 350W supply atm. I don't know if a certain kind will fit or not fit because I honestly don't know anything about fitting certain things lol (stfu not like sex). I don't care about noise really >.>

EDIT: i read that the video card is a power hog and might need some more power, so just find a real good price please. Smile

In order to know if it "fits", we need the name of your case. All power supplies can work with any type of motherboard (modular). And yes video cards are power hogs, they take up as much as the motherboard. So just get a power supply that is a few watts more then your needed supply, about 50-100, in case you overclock or wanna add something or you are just pushing your computer far.

And a tip is that, the power supply is indeed the most important part of a computer. Don't skimp money on it, if you are just trying to save some money for a GPU or something. Get the best you can afford. If that thing fucks up, it might burn and melt and damage your entire computer.

Maybe my eyes aren't what they use to be. But I don't see any dimensions on that package. And I also need the case that you are using to see if it fits.

From what I think, it's most likely regular ATX size.

Even if the 350W PSU is enough (it probably is enough, although it would be safer to get a 400W), you should take the oft-repeated advice from slovach and Cheetah.

The one Ajax recommended will work just fine.

You can pickup a power supply for $10-$50 bucks if you need to be cheap on it. Just look around on sites, just like Newegg, for retail / OEM power supplies. Keep in mind they might not always be the best brands to go with. You can get yourself a decent one though for fairly cheap.

I would suggest that if you skimp out on the power supply that you do a little more work on that processor. The one you picked out is pretty weak.

^^ Skimping on the power supply is a bad idea in the start... Dont suggest for someone to buy a bad power supply ( risking them ruining all their parts ) to pay more for a part that could get fried with a bad PSU.

Well, if your trying to set an OC record, get a Pentium 4.
