Any power supply failure can very easily take components with it. You don't necessarily have to pay the king's ransom for an Enermax, but you should be able to do better than a Codegen without breaking the bank.

You definitely don't want to cut corners on your PSU. When bad ones go, they can take other components with them. Search the forums and you'll find plenty of horror stories of people losing a mobo, processor, or memory module when a cheap PSU crashes and burns.

the molex connectors are what powers your peripherals, such as hard drives, cd-roms, video cards, fans, etc. if you start using too many Y adaptors to get more power sources youre putting more stress on the PSU. my 300W codegen had 4 molex connectors.
