give specs of what your going for for the rest of the PC so i can recomend a PSU, p[ersoanlly i like my OCZ GamerXstreme but the lowest wattage version is 600W and has very high ampages so it might be more than you need (espescially for your work PC), the cables are meshed together too for easy cabel management
