Hello All.

Well below are the specifications of the computer I wish to build:

-Gigabyte GA-MA78LMT-US2H 760G Socket AM3 DVI VGA HDMI Out 8 Channel Audio mATX Motherboard

-SAPPHIRE ATI Radeon HD 5450 PCI-E Graphics Card - 1GB

-AMD Athlon II X3 450 3.2GHz Socket AM3 95w 1.5MB L2 Cache

-x2 2GB RAM (DDR3 PC3-10600 • CL=9 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR3-1333 • 1.5V • 256Meg x 64 • )

-640GB SATA 3.0 Gb/sec 7200 RPM Hard drive

I was wondering if anybody out there could tell me how much power I need to power this computer when I build it?

Not very much. If you don't plan on overclocking or adding additional components in the future then 300-350w should be enough.

Check out this 350w.
