Power supply
I want to buy an Alienware aurora Corei5, SSd512+1TB, GTX960, Blueray, 16GB of RAM. I would like it to be upgradeable in the future, and I'm wondering if the standard air flow 460W is enough, thinking in adding maybe two 7200rpm drives and changing the graphics card in the future. I'm also considering the 860W PSU, but maybe is overkill. What do you think? Could I simply go with the 460W PSU?

if the price is right for you,I would just go 860W better to have it and not need it then to wish you had. If this is a PC and not a laptop,maybe something in the 5-600W will work.

Hi,
With those specs we will recommend the 850W PSU.
Let me know if you need something else!

Thank you, daddywoofdag. Definetively I will go for the 850 one. I'm considering now a Core i7 instead of a Core i5, and maybe in a future I will upgrade the graphics card. As a matter of fact, this computer is for my son: I've always used Mac, and I'm a bit lost in this world.
