A little bit tight on the watts if you ask me.. You should go for a higher wattage model.. As you are probably close to maxing it out....

Yep doctor feelgood, ThermalTake TR2 420W Black Silent +ATX 12V 2.0 PSU, 20pin +4pin SATA ready. i would like just to change the fan to a led fan, to give it more life. If the change involves cut cables, reattaching them and all tell me, as i don't have the tools...just have a simple screwdriver :S

It may involved cutting and splicing wires. Since I doubt any of us has personally tried to change the fan in that exact PSU (and very possibly don't even own that exact PSU) than we'd be guessing.

That one uses a custom fan connector to connect both fans onto one fan header. The only way you are going to change the fans is to cut/splice it.

You were nearly maxing out the capacity anyways.
Look around at reviews and see if you can find one in your price range. A minimum of 600 watts to future proof your system.

If you're looking for 'wow' factor, many of the modular power supplies also have led's and/or UV reactive cabling, which is pretty cool if you're into all that
