Ok, I checked out Dynex on the Best Buy website.

Only one of their PSUs will be suitable for your build, the DX-PS500W...it's the only one that conforms to the ATX2 standard.

Saying that, going for an established make ensures top quality. For instance, that Dynex model lacks dual 12v rails (one of which is dedicated to your CPU) - a feature that most good Antec/Enermax/Xclio/Tagen etc have for the same sort of price.

The only reason i'm labouring this point is because I, and i'm sure many others here, have felt the pain in the wallet caused by a bad PSU.

At the end of the day, it's your call. The Dynex 500w would be compatible with your new bits and bobs.
