It's a below average product. Should still work fine for this system. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371021 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151095 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207007 All of these are superior products with great prices.
