Here's my setup:
P4 3.0C @ 3.225
Abit AI7
2 x 512MB OCZ PC3200
Radeon X800 XT PE ~ 1 Molex
WD Cavier JB - 80GB
CDRW
DVD
~2 case fans, CPU fan, NB fan
My PSU is an Antec True(Power) 380. I just want to make sure that this PSU will be big enough. I understand that if I add another drive, more fans, etc, that I will have to upgrade. But for now, should this be okay? I might slightly O/C the X800 too.
I read in Maximum PC that a system with more drives, P4 EE, ... ran a 6800 Ultra on a 400w Sparkle with no problems. Since the X800 draws alot less average (and about 20w less peak), and I have fewer drives, lower wattage CPU, will 380w be good?
One more thing. I don't want to stress the PSU too too much, eva2000 said something about blowing it up! :look:
Thanks for input
