Hi Acl, This does not come with an included power supply. It would depend on what components you plan to use, reach out to our support team and they can help determine which one is appropriate for you. support.corsair.com -Brian
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Sadly, the case does not come with a power supply. And I don't know what wattage to recommend due to a lack of knowledge of your components. But, I can recommend EVGA, Seasonic, Corsair and Thermaltake as PSU manufacturers.

If your building a gaming rig I would suggest a minimum of 750 watts and if you plan on a next-gen video card like an Nvidia 3800 more would be better. I went with a Corsair CX750m which unfortunately I purchased prior to the 3800's release so I was not aware of its potential for power draw spikes. On the other hand if you have no plans to game and only need to surf the web/do office work or have the kids use Zoom for school you can get away with a quality unit in the area of 450-500 watts. Another thing to keep in mind is efficiency ... all things equal the unit with the higher efficiency is better as it will run cooler and use less power. Make sure anything you buy is rated "80+ Bronze" at a minimum ... the more efficient models are rated by: Silver, Gold, and Platinum. Bad news is they not only get better and more efficient they also get progressively more expensive!
