haimback thanks that was a nice handy link..........i found out i need 380 wat power supply so i guess i will be goin with a 400 wat power suply

 

What? You're not going with the 550 or 600 watt?? (just kidding you!) Good luck and have fun. In the case of PSU, more is often better. Also, think about a psu with 6 pin connector for the new PCI Express video card(s) if you have the mobo supporting such technology. ... just another thought, or consider an adapter.

 

Check out the power supply calculator at JS Custom PCs. This is the only one I know of, and it's fairly accurate and useful.
