I also have PC in my home, coincidentally...

Either way, if you're going to connect a home theater system to your PC, it doesn't matter what PSU you have. The home theater system runs on it's own power supply from the wall socket. The only thing you need to remember is that you're going to be needing a big enough graphics card to be able to smoothly display video on a larger display.

Hi
300 -400 watt is enough. Just keep in mind what type of GPU you are going to put in. If you buy a fanless graphics card for HD x264 decoding then 300 - 400 watt is good. But if you put 2 vga cards in SLi and you are planning to play the latest games in the highest resolution then put in 700 - 800 watts.
