    I'd agree, you should be fine with a 330w if you aren't overclocking. Once you get it, you could always pick that up later if you find out you are throttling for any reason. Save your money up front, or place that towards other upgrades if you want.

    follow pat´s advice and go with one psu first. then, if you do decide to overclock and some later point in time, u can still purchase a second adapter :) but even with one psu u should be able to do some moderate overclocks ;)

    HIDevolution ships internationally, I call them using Skype. And their warranty will help you ship the laptop from Vietnam to them two times per year free of charge if something goes wrong with the laptop, so they pay the shipping for warranty repairs/claims. This is why I chose a 3 year warranty as it's well worth it.
    If you don't have money for the 3 year warranty now, don't worry, you can sill choose the standard 1 year warranty and call them later on to upgrade it to a 3 year warranty. They are very flexible.
