question on power supplys?
I have seen every thing from 150 up to 1000watts.
what determines what size you should use?
amd 64 x2 6000 3.0g processor
20x cd/dvd burner
amd mother board with a . 7.1 on board sound card network adaptor.
sub wolfer 4 speakers
19" vga monitor
some usb devices. 80gig sata II
DDR2 667 (PC2-5300) 2gig
Using the speck above what would you use for a power supply?
Would a 350watt be sufficient?
Thanks Dave

350 is probably not enough. i would recommend at least 450 watts minimum

I'd say the 450 is probably plenty, depending on the video card, which can draw up to 100 watts.
