is my PS big enough?

[davesdaman]

I'm building a new system soon. here's the specs:

AMD XP 2000+ CPU
512 MB DDR 333Mhz RAM
Radeon 8500 vid. card
60 gig 7200 RPM HD
Gigabyte mobo w/the new KT333 chipset
and all the other basics

what size power supply should I get? I like enermax but the cost to damn much.

We can't tell you if it is big enough without you telling use what you have.

If you can find it on the internet, it HAS to be true!

He doesn't have one yet, so he's asking how much power he needs...

Well, you can go through the "<A HREF="http://www.pcpowerandcooling.com/products/power_supplies/selector/index.htm" target="_new">Power Supply Selector</A>" at <A HREF="http://www.pcpowerandcooling.com/products/power_supplies/index.htm" target="_new">PCPowerAndCooling.com</A>.

I'm thinking 350W or 400W. The Enermax PSUs are worth the cost, because they won't flake out like other cheaper power supplies. Trust me...<A HREF="http://www.btvillarin.com/ramblings/powersupply/1.html" target="_new">I've been there</A>.

Then why is the title "is my PS big enough"

If you can find it on the internet, it HAS to be true!

I'm not sure, but reading his post, I think it's safe to deduce that he's asking what's a good one to get that'll be big enough for his system.
