Best supported motherboard

[Basil Kurian]

Hi

Today I got my PC equipped with AMD Phenom X6 and ASUS M4A89GTD Pro/USB3
motherboard. I used the Powersupply bundled with the ATX cabin. It is a
250Watt one. Should I purchase a high end Power Supply Unit ?

Will the usage of bundled PSU damage the hardware components ?



PS : My PC don't have any additional GPU s attached to the motherboard.
