Will a Corsair 400 watt PSU be enough?

[mugz12]

Hi I was just wondering if you guys think the Corsair 400 watt power supply would be enough to handle this build...

ASUS M4A78T-E AM3 AMD 790GX HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard

AMD Phenom II X3 720

Western digital 320gb HD, a second might go in

2gb of ram maybe 4 in the future

and 1 dvd player and a dvd burner

I was just wondering if I could get away with this or if i should bump up... the graphics will be handled by the onboard graphics and if we put in a new graphics card it won't anything that powerfull.

Thanks for any help.

Should work just fine, however do you plan on getting a video card later? if so look for a 500W or better.

if i do get a new video card it would probably only be a 256 which i have lying around... i think its only ddr2 though

You are fine.

I'm using similar CPU but with a Gigabyte mobo here,4G rams, paired it with an OCéd 8800GS and powered by 425w PSU, just running fine..

Alright, thanks for your responces... i should be fine then, was just nervice since the motherboard book said it would take 600 watts but that must be if all the expansion slots are filled.
