You might need it to install the OS.
Psu.....I would think a 500w single rail unit would work fine.
Brand...I lean toward corsair but there are others.
W8...looks like about 100 bucks for the dvd.

This is my build so far. Will all of this work together well and will it all fit? I still need a power supply but I think that is all. Can you guys give me your input and advice for this build. Also could you guys recommend a decent power supply that will work with all this. I really want to get started on this soon. Also, do you guys know where I can get windows 8 for a cheaper price? It's very expensive on Amazon.
Thanks again
