Everything you need to know is priinted some where on your equipment just add the numbers

 

dvd rom 1.5 a

cpu 90 a

a 250 gts video card 36 a (dedicated line reg.)

hd 0.75 a

 

and so on. anything you got you add up. then double you will be fine. There is some thing to be said for clean power that means no voltage spikes and that cost money so try to get a desent brand name.

 

good luck and stop sticking you tounge in the plug

all power supplies are not equal....some of those cheap ones are true garbage I run an OCZ, but I also like Corsair.

I don't like Thermaltake, coolermaster or Antec, I have run all 3 of them and I was not impressed.

all tho I like coolermaster cases...thats another story.

Now days for the price, I wouldnt buy anything less than a 700 or 800 watt, but that depends on the rest of your equipment...give yourself room to grow a little
