More Information

e6750 - 65 Watts
Q6600 - 95 Watts

My specs are:
GA-P35-DS3L
2 GIG Corsair DDR2 667Mhz RAM
ATi x1950 GT
e6750 2.66GHz OC'd to 3.0GHz
Thermaltake TR2 W0070RUC ATX 430W Power Supply

Also, could I even go up to a QX6800 or a QX9650 which consumes a whopping 130 Watts? How much watts do I know I am using and how much left and all of that?

Thanks for the replies.

If you are going to overclock like you have with the e6750 i would go bigger, however, the thermaltake will be enough to power the system. I would just feel safer with say a Corsair 550
