Looking to power a E6600 conroe w/ a 7900GT, couple of harddrives, 2 gig, and a DVD rom. Will the power supply suffice? The system will be mildly overclocked w/ 2-3 120mm fans.
thanks for the replies. How about the 450w Antec SmartPower that comes w/ the Sonata II? Was thinking about getting the case and selling the PS, but if it's enough for my proposed system, I might as well keep it. thanks!

jaguarskx, thanks for the extremely informative post. Definitely makes my buying decisions a little easier.
I hear you Pengwin, I'll be sticking w/ the Antec combo(sonataII w/ 450) Just click the buy button on the B stock offered by Antec themselves. Seems like w/ the case, a large CPU heaksink might be an issue. What would be a good choice of a heatsink for the conroe setup? Thanks!
I just realized the 450 the comes w/ the Sonata II is only atx 2.0 compliant. Are the boards that work w/ Conroes all 2.2? If that's the case, looks like my search continues.
great, tks! for some reason I thought that the ATX2.2 mobos required a 8 pin power plug, while the 2.0s had only a 4 pin plug.
