i currently have this PSU:
Newegg.com - SeaSonic S12-430 430W ATX12V Power Supply 100 - 240 V UL, CE, DEMCO, NEMCO, SEMCO, FIMCO, CB, FCC, CCC - Power Supplies
now, i currently run a core 2 quad q6600 (2.4ghz), 2 hard drives, a dvd drive an nvidia 8600 gts 256mb, a creative extreme audio sound card, 2 gigs of ddr3 ram (not exactly sure on how fast it is...) and finally, all of it running on an intel x38 motherboard...2 80mm fans and the stock fan on my processor
i was thinking about switching out my processor for:
Newegg.com - Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz 6MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor - CPUs / Processors
switching my graphics card for:
Newegg.com - EVGA 01G-P3-N869-AR GeForce 9600 GT 1GB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards
and then getting 3x of:
Newegg.com - Patriot 1GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory
replacing the componets that are the same type that i have currently
will my power supply still be able to power this or would you recommend going to a good quality 500-500w psu (i read that most people here recommend a 500w psu) if so, any recommendations on an exact psu? also, would the stock fan with the core 2 duo i have linked there be sufficient enough without any over clocking or should i look into a good cpu fan?
thanks for help
