im building a system.. how much power supply do i need??
heres the specs:
AMD 1700+
120GB HD
512MB ddr ram
DVD-ROM
CD-RW drive
Geforce4Ti 4600
Ethernet card
TV Tuner card
Firewire Card
Sound Balster Audigy
Modem
HD Cooling (dual fans)
Video cooling (dual fans)
2 case fans.
I would opt for a 400W supply. You have a lot of cards and fans. You want to cover the draw needed, but also allow for any upgrades and at the same not allow your PSU to be too overloaded.

you have the 430 Enermax, Nice... Listen what's a good 80mm Fan for case... Something that will do the job, but i don't want this thing to sound like a Bomb going off.
site im getting case off of has 80mm case fans by, ThermalTake, Sunon, Enermax
When you turn on your computer and the lights on your street start flickering, you got enough juice going. I'm getting the enermax 550 tomorrow morning, damn store was closed today

I hope I will! found it for 160$, the other store sell the 400 antec for 160$ so screw them. going for the big gun, might come handy with all the new toys coming out.
I was reading somewhere that the max 70% load is good for the PS, last longer or something. anyway, true or not, I like to have some spare juice in case I'll need it.
