New build confused about powersupply
Im a bit confused about power supply's i used this website http://www.extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine as recommended in one of the threads here and it gave me a result of 299 WATTs is this right? It sounds a bit low but im not to sure as its my first build. If not would my Antec EarthWatts 380W be considered adequate?
Here are the proposed specifications. Motherboard ASUS P5K AiLifestyle Series iP35 Socket 775 eSATA 8channel Audio ATX Motherboard http://www.ebuyer.com/product/129125...ctype=extended Graphics card BFG 8800 GTS OC 320MB DDR3 DVI PCI-E Graphics Card http://www.ebuyer.com/product/125183...ctype=extended Processer Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 2.66GHz 1333FSB Socket 775 4MB Cache Retail Boxed Processor http://www.ebuyer.com/product/130484...ctype=extended RAM Geil Ultra DDR2 2.0GB PC6400 Dual Channel memory kit (2 x 1GB) 800MHz (4-4-4-12) +Aluminium heat spreader http://www.microdirect.co.uk/Product...D=14777&Page=2 or Corsair 2GB Kit (2x1GB) DDR2 800MHz/PC2-6400 XMS2 Memory Non-ECC Unbuffered CL5(5-5-5-12) Heat Spreader Lifetime Warranty http://www.ebuyer.com/product/98710 Hard drive Seagate ST3320620AS 320GB Hard Drive SATAII 7200RPM 16MB Cache - OEM http://www.ebuyer.com/product/115418...specifications Optical drive http://www.ebuyer.com/product/125208 Thanks for your help. |

With a 8800GTS I don't think the Antec 380 watt PSU would be enough. If I were building this computer the minimum I would install would be a 450 watt unit but would probably install a 550 watt unit to give the system a little more headroom.

We recommend the Corsair 520HX power supply: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/114945
