I've been using a 430w PSU for a year and a half now with no issue that I could see. Recently my motherboard died and a replacement, newer model is coming today so was wondering if my PSU can still handle my system. The HDD and CDD I got from an older system. The HDD is a Western Digital Caviar RPM 7200 640 GB. The CDD seems to be a generic CD/DVD writable drive. Thanks for the help and I look forward to the help.

Solution
Best advice I could give you is to Google "PSU Calculators" and just try out a couple. They will compute your power needs pretty closely.
