will my PS be good enough?

[tsonjjd]

Will my current PS be good enough for this pc I am considering building?

480W Antec Neopower

E6750 Core 2 Duo
2 GB OCZ PC6400
ASUS PN5-E SLI 650i
250GB WS2500KS HD
EVGA 8800GT
AOPEN 16x DVD ROM

It certainly should be. Even the rippin'-est, quad, sli, modded, oc'ed to death computers don't need much more than 500 watts. Antec Neopower is a great psu and should be able to more than handle what you've got, even with overclocking. With an 18A and 16A 12v rail, you should have more than enough amps.

That should work just fine. My power hungry 8800 GTS 640MB ran off a 420W PSU. (At the time I was also running a Pentium D, 2x 150GB 7200 RPM HDD, 2 Opitcal Drives, and several fans.) It was a really crappy RAIDMAX too... lol.

Yeah, it's good.

Why are you buying a DVD-ROM and not a burner?

have you guys read the Nvidia spec sheets? omg he needs 22A MINIMUM preferably 28+ and thats low. I think Nvidia recommends . that way he has some overhead room, so that the PSU is not running a 100% load. Wow. lol, no wonder peoples PSU are dying left and right.

/flame off

i cant find the 450, but the 550 is ok with 54A...i would assume yours has a total of 36ish if my math is right. either way you should be fine..
next time just search "power requirements nvidia" no quotes in google.. youll get what your looking for.
