  • x800gto power requirements

    I am currently building a new computer and need an experts opinion on the PSU that will be powering my system..First off here are my systems specs:

    AMD Athlon 3700+ (socket 939)
    1 gig of RAM
    most likely the X800gto (unless somebody has a better idea its priced at $150)
    A older maxtor 120gb HD
    NEC-DVD RW

    My question is will the power-supply from this case be enough?

    Probably not. A socket 939 system with a powerful video card generally needs a 480W or higher PSU from a good company. A 450W that comes with a case is probably not good enough.

        The Antec Smartpower 2.0 on newegg right now has a great price and will be more than enough. You probably can't get a decent 480W+ PSU for anything less.
