So currently I'm very tight on money so I can't afford a expensive PSU which is the reason I bought the 79.99 I guess if I have to I can go higher, but the lower and the quality for that price will be better for me.

For starters, that 3rd stick of RAM is a waste. That MOBO is dual channel which means you should be utilizing it, else the performance will suffer.

You'll need a ~600-650W PSU, and at least 2x PCI-E 6+2 connectors, which that PSU you lsited has. I'd however, recommend going w/ a modular to help with cleanup of wires. Up to you.

I think I will stick with semi or full modular just because of the increase in airflow when I hide the wires behind panels.
