How do I figure out what size power supply I need? (300w, 400w,500w???) I asked in an earlier post about brands, but in retrospect I really have no idea what I need. I just picked a round number and went for it. Help Please...
I am building a:
Athlon 1800 Asus A7S333 256mb 2700-DDR
DVD Drive
CDRW
NIC
40gb 7200rpm
GeForce3 Ti-200
Any 350w will do you nicely. Also if you want to upgrade your computer in the future 350W will do you for a while too. Dont waste money getting an expensive brand name. They arnt worth it. Though the other guy is correct a 250W will work too. I a running a T-Bird 1.4gig (Second most power hungry CPU next to a P4 3.06gig HT)on a 230W PSU with 2 7200rev drives 2 cd drives GF2 GTS and scsi card sound card and network. And the PSU doesnt even get hot. Only just slightly warm.
