I have asus p5g41t-mlx motherboard with 2 gb ram, 120 gb hard drive sata, nvidia geforce 9600t graphic card. can some one recommend what power supply should i use for this system? i have right now DANY's PM-40 400W power supply, is it suitable?
 
Solution
For a system using a single GeForce 9600 GT graphics card NVIDIA specifies a minimum of a 400 Watt or greater system power supply that has a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 20 Amps or greater and that has at least one 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connector.

Total Power Supply Wattage is NOT the crucial factor in power supply selection!!! Sufficient Total Combined Continuous Power/Current Available on the +12V Rail(s) rated at 45°C - 50°C ambient temperature, is the most critical factor.

The DANY POWER MAX PM-40 may only have a +12V current rating of 18 Amps.
