Hey guys, So I'm upgrading my pc, always a stressful occasion for me! This is what I have purchased so far
http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/2s2W9
The hard drive is the closest to the one I have that I could find. My current psu is a Antec 430wtts. However it has been in and out of usage for around 5 years. The estimated wattage required from part picker is 309w. Is this max? The computer has only ever been used for gaming. Running a intel e5200 duo and a nvidia 9600GT. Should be a nice upgrade, just want to make sure it won't go up in flames, literally. Thanks
