I've stuck exclusively with Microsoft boards up to this point—bought my first one years ago, built four rigs since then, and haven't had a single one die on me.
That’s just my personal experience, though.
From what I've gathered, both options are pretty solid choices.

If you end up grabbing that NVIDIA GTX 1050, it’s solid—more than enough for what you need.

Well, I actually got it bundled with the case. I was working with a pretty tight budget when I picked up the rig, so I just went with this combo—paid $100 for both the case and the PSU.
Who knows what kind of unit it actually 😁

That was my main concern—just making sure I have enough wattage to run everything without any hiccups.
450W, 80+ rating, and it's $123... if I grab it, I should be fine.

Thanks again, everyone.

Found this right before heading to bed—is the wattage too low for what I need, or what?

Back again. You guys are always so helpful 😁

We recently upgraded my PC, and I'm currently running a five-year-old 550W LC Power unit.
It hasn't given me any trouble yet—so far—but I’d rather just buy a new one. Honestly, I'm a little paranoid that if it dies, it might take a few other components down with it.
I was wondering what power supply you'd recommend for my setup. It doesn't need to be anything fancy—just something reliable and solid that gets the job done.
Thanks.
P.S.
I'll probably pick up another 4 or 8 GB of RAM once my next paycheck hits.

Here is the current build:
proc: FX-6300 3.8 Ghz
motherboard: MSI 760GM-PD3FX
memory: 4GB Corsair 1333 MHz
gpu: XFX 7790 Core edition
HDD: 1 WD 500GB
