Hy everyone! I plan to upgrade my system, I wan't to buy Gainward 7800GS Golden Sample graphic card... BUT? I have problem!

My PSU is Eurocase 350W, and has only 14A on +12V! AND I know that it won't be enough for my pc to run normal! :(

I think to buy Chieftek GPS-450AA-101 A, which has 450W? Would this PSU be enough for my configuration? It also has +12V1=14A, and +12V2 =15A total=29A!!!

My PC: Pentium D 2.66 Ghz, 2x512MB DDR 400, 2xHDD, cd-rw, dvd-rw, and I will buy a new 7800GS!

Thank in advance! :hello:

But, I can't find Antec! Would this Chieftec do the job with my configuration and with Gainward 7800 GS? Please help!

The Chieftec would be OK spec wise, but would be a problem in the quality department. A better choice would be a Corsair 450VX.

Chieftec does make good cases though.

Yes, Chieftec has two rails +12V! And total of 29A on +12V! But, what about Chieftec vs LC Power? I can buy Chieftec 450, but on other side I can buy LC Power Silent 420W?!!?

Who is the better? What is the better buy?

P.S. Only thing I don'T know about LC POWER is how many +12V rail it has, and what is total amperage for its rails? Chieftec has 2 rail +12V rails with total amperage of 29A? This is very important for grafic card!

Thanks

the psu has 14a on one +12v rail and 15a on the 2nd +12v rail. it do sent add up to 29a im not shure what it adds up but you don't add the amps on the +12v rails. It is always less, probably something like 25ish amps on the Chieftec.
