Quick help...How much power do i need? - 4u111 - 12-23-2009

hey guys,

I have an intel CPU e7400 @1066MHZ (normal heatsink/fan from intel)
2G RAM @ 800HZ
ATI HD4350 512mb GDDR2
two hard disks, and one LG dvd burner plus one outside cooling fan

And P35-ds3l motherboard.

How much of power supply do i need to support this system?? and what type of power supply do i need?

Something like that should work. You can keep going up from that so anything above that wattage will work.

I believe that 450W. If you one to expand it in a future you may think to buy another about 650W for a medium-high PC

Thank you guys and thanx Kevin i think i wont be able to buy the one from newegg because i ilive in Australia, it's a great power supply anyway and cheap as well.

What do you think about this "XSONIC 600watts ATX power supply"? ( im not sure if i can put direct link to it because of SF rules, just google if you have time Smile

Regards..

300 watt will power that believe it or not. But, go with a 450.

I think 450 watts is enough for the current specs but actually i bought ATI HD4350 for a purpose and i will buy another better one whichis going to require more wattage. Maybe 600 watts for future.
