hi guys. im confused about how my current 350 watt psu manages to run my computer? and if it is under performing my computer.

my specs are:

MOBO: GA-MA770-UD3

CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 955 BE 3.5ghz

VIDEO: Galaxy 260 GTX OC Edition

RAM: Corsair PC2 6400 1066mhz

HD: 500gb Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm

heres a screen of the psu except mine is a 350 watt version..

the real funny thing is, is that its from my old Pentium 4 rig.

anyway im about to upgrade it to this: http://pconlineshop.co.nz/pcshop/p [...] c97939f4ad

Oh yeah thats a much better PSU than the one you had listed. The whole line of Corsair power supplies are hard to beat. The 33A 12v rail should be fine for what you have even though Nvidia recommends a 500w PSU for the 260.
