I have just finished putting together a brand new system. It's been 3 years since I have really put a computer together and it's been really fun; however, i salvaged (or at least tried) the psu that had supported my old system pretty well. Its a thermaltake 430w supply. it didn't even boot this system that i finished today:
Intel core 2 duo 64 bit 3.16 Ghz processor
GIGABYTE EP45-UD3P motherboard LGA 775 PCI-E2.0 x 16/ 4 DDR 2 dual-ch 8 ch HD audio
GIGABYTE GeForce 9800 GTX+ 1GB GDDR3 PCI-E2.0 256 bit direct X-10 w/ PhysX acc.
4GB of OCZ 2x2GB DDR2 1066
Antec 1200 steel black case (amazing)
Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD6400AAKS 640GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
LITE-ON 20X DVD±R DVD Burner Black IDE
I wanted to hear some suggestions as to how many watts I should have to support this system. If you feel like you know please let me hear it!
