Its pretty much a known fact that SMPS are probably the most undervalued component of the PC. Although you might get away with one or two occurrences, it doesn't mean that a local SMPS provides similar results as a quality SMPS does.

Recently after checking for a good SMPS (My thread should still be in one of the sections) I did a little research by myself to understand what really is the difference between a quality SMPS and a local one and found quite a few amazing ones.

Just google it out and you will see what I'm talking about also you can find a review of one or two quality power supplies in Digit if you have the old magazines and can see several points being emphasized on.

If you want to risk it sure, knock yourself out but I can only recommend you to be rather safe than sorry. Also if the price is a concern then here's some food for thought. Considering that all the components which becomes outdated the only piece that isn't going to change fast is your power supply. So my recommendation would be not to be shy to sink some money in it. But again that's my personal opinion take it as you wish.

^^Well dude Watt do matters but the amp. on voltage rails matter more than it. Specially the amp on +12V rail.

FSP SagaII 500W will be enough for you with more upgrades :)
