Antec and Enermax are the only PSU's I would build with. If your motherboard has a 24 pin power supply connection you need to make sure the PSU does too (look for ATX 2.0 PSUs).

no, it is actually good even if u dont use it. because PSU's are more efficient and put out less heat when less of their "power output" capacity is used. so, ex. using 250 watts on a 400 watt PSU put more strain on the unit, then using 250W on a 600 Watt PSU
