    I wasn't referring to the PSU you suggested. But many people will just buy a case with a cheap included PSU. One year later they are surprised when the damn thing dies.

    We had a lot of those cheap cases back in the day and we had to replace them often. PSU failure was the most common reason for a dead PC.

    I decided to get this one:

    Rosewill Xtreme Series RX750-S-B 750W Continuous @40C ,80 PLUS Certified, ATX12V v2.2 & EPS12V v2.91, SLI Ready CrossFire Ready, Active PFC
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6817182067

    One because it has pretty blue LEDs, and two because it has a ton of great reviews. I also added a PSU tester to my cart, just in case.

    Never heard of the company (Doesn't mean anything since I'm from Europe) but it looks like a decent PSU. The 750W are probably a little over the top but it's better to not to run a PSU close to the limit.

    From what i've gathered on the various computer sites i've gone to, Rosewill makes quality products, i'm buying my case from them as well.

    Rosewill is Newegg's in-house brand, isn't it?

    Yep, "Rosewill" is just a brand that Newegg sticks on hardware made by various manufactures. They're on the cheaper side, but generally decent quality for the price.

    Yeah, jessep, I made that mistake. I got some super cheap 400W power supply unit. Fried a **** ton of my components, so I decided not to get anything to pricey until I could afford a good custom PC. Right now I have an HP laptop and I can run CS:S max, Oblivion high and LoTRo high.

    Also Hudson, if you want to get Oblivion for PC, I have a mod that you should get that makes it 1000x better. But I should tell you, it is hard as hell to do much at first due to the removal of level scaling dungeons and NPCs.
    I'll list the mods I use.

    You'll need OMOD if you want to install any mods safely. It informs you of mod conflicts also.

    Next, you'll want to get a community made patch. Unofficial Oblivion Patch, it's pretty much a patch that should have been released by Bethesda.

    Now for the epic mod. It's called Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul. It is a major overhaul of Oblivion that takes out the extreme easyness factor. The Official Website for it should explain it better than me. For the download, get the last download on the list. Use OMOD to install it. There should be a tutorial on the FAQs for installing things with OMOD on tesnexus or on the OOO website.

    Next is a mod that makes all the cities better looking. Better Cities. Make sure you get ALL of the main files or it won't work. (There will be three of them)

    Here's a mod if you hate the tutorial dungeon.

    This mod makes it so you're not the only person ever traveling on the roads. I haven't tried the advanced version yet, but I will try it after posting this and I'll let you know.

    These are the mods I think are essential to giving a better experience to Oblivion, but there are countless other mods you can get that will also be great. But try to to get too many or you might run into unforeseen errors.
