Power Supply Wattage? (Newb question)

[peterhuang913]

So I'll be able to play all recent games on max settings or close to max settings?

And a secondary question, which manufacturer should I go with? EVGA? PNY? XFX?

All on max

EVGA

OK, so I got the power supply you suggested, but when I plug it in and try to switch it on, nothing happens. There's a yellow LED light that comes on, but the fan doesnt activate, and when I connect it to the case fans, nothing happens. Am I missing something, or is my unit defective?

What do you mean by the fan doesn't turn on? The one on the PSU? Have you connected all wires from the PSU to their specified locations?

Well, no, that's why I'm asking. I wanted to plug it in just to see if it works, because my computer is still in repair in California. Should the fan on the PSU turn on if its plugged in and switched on? I also tried connecting it to the fans on the case and none of them would turn on either.
