belezeebub · Apr 1, 2013

This is project NO Bucks My Son's girlfriend computer went belly up and he did the whole "please dad can you help crap"(yes I am a big softey I know)

I mananged to find the following in my bone yard the online calc's show this as 334 Watt but the board/memory/video card and CPU are far from new, everything works but as I have never used this PS before I got it for a Media server build I never did I wanted to ask if you think this little guy will run everything and be stable before I send it out the door.

That should be plenty, yeah - it's a reliable build, so it'll actually output what it's rated for.

GTX260 can use up to 180W, so I'd be a little worried about that. E6650 is only 65W, so maybe it will be OK.

GTX 260 is an older power hungry card that recommends a 500w power supply with at least 38 amps on the 12v rail. The Antec NeoEco 400w model although an excellent Seasonic made unit only supplies 30 amps on the 12v rail making it a pretty big risk to try a GTX 260 with it.

You can get a Corsair CX500 for $39 after rebate right now on newegg. It supplies 38 amps and would be fine.

1 Yes, 1 no, and 1 I'd be worried hummm that is why I ask first, the issue is she isn't my kid I really don't want to put money into this build if I can avoid it. the only other low end video card I have is a Nvidia 9600/ might be a 9800 I forget which.

I guess I could give her one of my 460gtx and make Jr work it off.

wait I think I have a DELL PS from 2600 Dimension wonder if that would be a bigger one.

The 9600GT and the 9800GT both only require recommended 400w power supplies. I would trust the Antec with either card without a second thought.

A handy PSU requirements chart.

I agree, use the 9600. It is worth less, anyway.
