People go nuts over power supplies. Someone will tell you you need at least an 800w. You don’t. If anything I’m not a huge fan of Rosewill. Maybe think about going with a more well reviewed brand if you upgrade. I’ve had good experience with EVGA, and their power supply with similar specs is the same price: EVGA 110-BQ-0500-K1, 500 Bq, 80+ Bronze 500W, Semi Modular, FDB Fan, 3 Year Warranty, Power Supply https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N3OAFHD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_FCR7NGE9PFDPV0YN1ZNY?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I don't recall it being hard to pull off, there may be a locking clip that needs to be squeezed though.
Power supply should be okay with that card because it only requires a 300 W power source. It could be that the power supply is under powered, but it seems like something isn't hooked up or the power supply is off (as another commenter said, check the switch on the power supply visible in the 1st photo here ). Also make sure the power plug is in all the way, may have come loose from moving the computer. If you're going into a power strip, make sure that is on. Switch to a different outlet if you can to make sure it's not a breaker or a tripped GFI switch as well. Also, as another commenter said, make sure your power button is plugged into the motherboard as well.
I've had incompatible CPUs and CPUs that weren't hooked up right, the system should at least turn fans on.
Good catch on the windows, didn't realize I'd selected the wrong one.
The only reason for the GPU is so that we can have 3+ monitors hooked up. Seems like MOBOs only have 2 connections, happy to be wrong on this though.
I'll shrink the PSU as well.
EDIT: Went with this PSU
As far as I can tell, everything looks pretty solid.
You might consider an EVGA power supply. Still very highly reviewed but they've been on sale lately. They have a comparable 500W model for $40, and the last few days, the 600W has been bouncing around... although it's up at this very moment.
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N3OAFHD/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
The power supply is an entire power regulation and delivery unit. A box with one cable from the wall to it, and many cables from it to the computer components, sending the correct voltage to each component (or multiple voltages since each connector has multiple wires!)
You ought to have a gaping hole on the back of your case, at the bottom, where the PSU is supposed to go.
Yeah, what I was saying was that there isn't a GPU to swap out - you're just adding one. (There is room on the mobo) A precaution I would take before adding a GPU is checking the PSU when you receive the PC. 500 watt is very vague. Is it 80+ certified? bronze certified? If there aren't any of these markers, I'd drop 50 dollars on a new PSU such as this one as to avoid over stressing the PSU.
EVGA is one of the better brands, i don't know what that guy means by 'cheaply' made. But if you can afford it, I'd go with a modular, or at least a semi modular psu. It helps so much with wire management. For semi modular I'd recommend this one
Thanks for the help! I looked for some EVGA PSUs and I found this one on Amazon. It's semi-modular but I couldn't really find reviews for it anywhere. Should I go for this one instead?
Your pc won't use much power, so even a 450w psu would be ample. But considering the cost increase is pretty small with higher watt models, you may want to opt for a 550w-650w units.
Currently the evga BQ 500 or 600 can be had for quite cheap, and is a decent performer as well. It is, however, a double forward internal design, which is more prone to causing coil whine under load due to the transformers hard switching.(made by andyson)
The next step up from the BQ would be the corsair CX(non-m), but atm there are sales on the evga GA, which has overall better component quality. The evga GA is available in 550w/650w/750w varieties. The 650w variety was on sale the other day for $60, but atm only the 750w version is on sale of $80.The GA has not been professionally reviewed and early on in the rtx release cycle, I did see a rash of complaints in regard to pre-maturely tripping protections, but with your system, you won't even remotely approach those limits(unless you were to upgrade to a 3080).(made by andyson)
The evga G3 650w is currently on sale as well, and component quality is much higher then the previous units. But the fan profile of the G3 is terrible as it will run at 35dB all the time when not dead idle. That's pretty loud and louder then case fans which usually operate ~25dB. But it is a very good unit and cheap atm.(made by superflower)
It's good to be careful about the Power Supply you purchase. There are a lot of good brands, but EVGA is well known and reputable.
The EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze BQ goes for $75 on Amazon.
The Samsung 850 EVO 250GB is $130 on Amazon, a very good price for the product despite not being on sale. It's a very fast and reliable SSD.
Your choice of graphics card should be fine!
Good job on your parts list!
P.S. I don't know anything about wireless cards, ideally for gaming you should try and play over ethernet cable. Hopefully another user can help you pick a wireless card, sorry!
Well, the MX500 SSD is just $0.10 more on Amazon compared to OutletPC but the CX550M PSU is $17 more on Amazon compared to Newegg so you could get this, less good PSU.

Ya I'm buying from Amazon. I'm still a newb when it comes to building a PC. Just found out I may want to go with a modular or semi modular. Was looking at this EVGA one:
​
Pretty much anything from Corsair, EVGA, Be Quiet, Thermaltake, and that’s got a 80+ bronze rating or better. I would look for something that’s semi-modular meaning that most of the cables can be removed completely from the PSU Itself and will help with cable management down the line. A non modular PSU has all the cables connected which is what most pre-builts and lower end models have which makes it harder to hide the extra cables lol.
EVGA 500 W 80+ Bronze 66$ Amazon
thermaltake 500W 80+ bronze 44$
You should check out the site PCpartpicker.com as it has tons of hardware on there and you can check out reviews and stuff.
The recommended psu for the 1650 super is 400~450 Edit: found this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N3OAFHD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_H.0rFbSZCS00V
I changed it to this EVGA 600W 80+, is that good or should I get the EVGA 500BQ?
I made a few changes. For now I took away the hard drive to buy later and upgraded the SSD for now:
It still shows a HDD, not SSD on mine. & I don’t particularly like that PSU either. I would look for something similar to this for a budget CPU or a Corsair CX series. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N3OAFHD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Et9hFb9AK9FR5

$400 for a 1060 3GB, makes me sick.I will jump into traffic if you buy that. Save yourself $200 and get a GTX 1050ti 4GB that are everywhere for $160-200. Maybe one with a 6PIN plug and overclock the shit out of it. Divert that money into an i5-8400 or just save it.
That PSU is an absolute rip off. Get this $20 cheaper and better https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N3OAFHD/?tag=pcpapi-20
Drop that SSD and get a Samsing 960 EVO NVME drive for the same price it is waayyy faster 4x or more. https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-960-EVO-Internal-MZ-V6E250BW/dp/B01LYFKX41/ref=sr_1_8?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1518344729&sr=1-8&keywords=samsung+ssd
Intel changes their Motherboard sockets every TWO generations, so far at least. So as far as history tell us you will be able to do a bios update and put a 9th gen intel cpu in your mobo, but who knows.
I am a EVGA fanboy, solely due to their customer service. They will bend over backwards should you have any issues. This should work: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N3OAFHD/?tag=pcpapi-20
whats the difference between this and the EVGA 500w BQ?
Was looking at these two PSUs:
Seasonic M12II 520 EVO (fully-modular)
After shipping and tax here in Ontario, the Seasonic one ends up being an extra $10 (excluding mail-in rebate). Is 20W extra and full modularity worth that extra cash?
Whats the difference between B1 and BQ? I meant to add that it would be better to be modular because of the case size and the BQ looks semi Modular.

do NOT skimp out on the PSU. Try this one, its also semi modular and build quality is much higher, less prone to it going out and taking your whole system with it.

Well you see my motherboard had bent pins on my lga 1366 build a pin bent when I upgraded to a xeon x5650 so I fixed it because I wasn’t getting any display and I flipped switch and a loud pop happened then sparks flew out the thing so far I know my 1060 is safe and that’s all that matters to me for the most part idk how else I can prove it but here’s the model I wouldn’t worry about yours it’s a higher end model so https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-BRONZE-Modular-Warranty-110-BQ-0500-K1/dp/B01N3OAFHD
