Hi guys, I'm new to the forum but let me cut to the chase. I have a Kill- A-Watt and it says my system is drawing 280 watts from the wall running prime95 and furmark at stock speeds. My question is does this mean that technically I could get away with a 300W power supply? Or am I just being a n00b? I tried searching all major forum inc you guys but have come up dry so please don't flame me if this has been asked before. I'm just looking for a straight answer. My specs are as follows (ALL SPEEDS, TIMINGS, VOLTAGES ETC ARE STOCK ATM).
Thank you!
