Hi all
Im quite new to building pc's, and im currently struggling to work out what size power supply is required for my new build. I have calculated the below system to be about 300w with 20% decay of capactitors over one year (antec wedsite calcluator). The system will not be used for games but it will be used for computer programming, business applications, and watching motorsport on the internet.
I have included my system speck below. Please can you advise on what size power supply i should go for (is the 350w supply big enough?), and also what is a good make that should last about 3 years.
Look forward to your advise.
