Hi, I will be getting a GTX260 card along with these parts, C2D E8400, 2 GB Ram, 2x Sata Drives, 2x DVDRW Drives and an Asus P5kc Motherboard.

My current system has a Spire Rocketeer 500W PSU with 2x 12v rails at 20A each and 32A combined.

I would like to keep this PSU with the new system, will it handle it? Or will I need to get a new PSU?

Thanks

That particular calculator doesn't take in consideration the amperage, which is the most important thing in a PSU >.<

As I will use the onboard sound, the PSU is a tad bit better then the requirements shown by PSU calculator so I will try it see how it goes.

Thanks for the quick reply bpogdowz.

1. Your PSU has enough amps but it's cr@p. It is a no name brand.

2. For your system get a Corsair 550VX/Corsair 650TX or PC Power & Cooling 610.

I know its kind of a cheap PSU, but it served well until now. I'm already happy that it can handle the new system. Maybe I'll get a new PSU in the near future.

Thanks
