Here's my build

E6550 overclocked hopefully to 3.3ghz or more
2gigs DDR2-1066 ram
WD 500GB hDD
Geforce 7900 GS
Lite-on DVD writer SATA
Arctic cooler pro 7
Antec P180 case

I was thinking of the Antec Earthwatts 380, since it's $35 right now. Will it be sufficient for this build?

Try this website, it's a power supply calculator: http://www.extreme.outervision.com [...] orlite.jsp

You can input what you are gonna get and it will tell you an *approx* power draw for you system. make sure that your system doesnt exceed more than 80% of the power supply's output capacity.


personally, i dont think 380 would support the level of oc you are looking for
