Don't you mean self-destruct gamer? The power supply you chose will fail in
a rather spectacular fashion. That's guaranteed. The only question is, how
many of the other components will it take out when it dies? Unless you are
building this for someone you really hate, I'd suggest you try an enermax
liberty or seasonic or fortron something or other. Use that cheap case if
you want, that's OK. Just replace the power supply. -Dave

There are reviews on Newegg for some other Raidmax PSU models...

I figured I'd probably be ok for a while since I have only one HD.

these days you cannot, skimp on- get by with- use for awhile- a bunk PSU.
Like using a hammer with a loose head, knowing its loose isn't going to stop
something real hurtful from happening when you least expect it.

I think you're being trolled by someone(s) who has junk for a system
(specifically, JAD, who regularly expresses his jealousy about other
author's systems here in this group).
