Poll: What's enough power for E8400, 2600XT, 4 GIG?

Hi just wondering what people think is the correct amount of power required for E8400, 4 GIG and Radeon 2600XT with light gaming, possible overclocking?

And this perfect case to house it in. A really long one to house that huge 2600xt plus a few Newegg reviewers concerned about length and stuff.

you'll never go over 450

Don't think so badge, but maybe you and fugben should have that conversation together in person - it sounds to me like you'd enjoy adding those suggestions you have... together... which might be your compensation. Projection of self I think is what you have in common, amongst other things right?

It reminds me of a red leather couch you might see in a porno film- interesting choice from badge really given he was referring, via his own references, to another man's length - which is an odd thing to have on your mind in the first place when talking about computers.

They say the subconcious always finds a way to reveal itself...
Badge's photo/ representation of himself looks very 'closety' to me, i.e. dark/hidden/safe, which seems to tie into the porno conotation/ fixation on length references somehow...

The outside is an army/sas style image you might associate with aggression/ danger. This reminds me of a small dog that yaps to make itself seem aggressive/ dangerous (b/c it feels insecure about it's own size) as larger dogs rarely take notice of the smaller ones in the first place.

I love a bit of psychology so early in the day, keep reaching for that rainbow badge and fugben ; ))

Good question!
I have an old 680 watt unit somewhere that would not be enough because of the +12 volt being 15 amp. Then there are units like this that would do it because of the strong +12 volt rail.

i run a e8400 on a gigabyte board, 2 gigs of ram and a gtx 260, 2 harddrives 2 roms 4 led case fans fan controller, temp gague with front case LED's pci sound and pci wireless on a 650w antec neopower *blue led one* and its just fine. i have less ram than your setup but my video and extras easts up a lot more power than your extra 2 gigs of ram. as a few others have said 400 should be fine. but it never hurts to go higher for future PC upgrades or editions.
Hope that helps ya

simon u been smokin da crack? that's a pretty whacked psychoanalysis based on something the PERSON WASN'T EVEN IMPLYING

I've probably been way off like that before but it looks pretty whacked in tom's hardware forums
and I wasn't right in the head when I used to say stuff like that...
