My old PSU vs My new system

[SapperX]

Wow. DO NOT get a new psu. Your current one is overkill already. I ran a similar system off of a 420w aspire psu ($10-$20) that came with a case for 1 year. People way overestimate how much power you need.

its just that i had a friend that had a psu like that with nothin in his comp and it wasnt enough power so i always get a psu that has room.

Well, it most likely isnt the same psu.


Crappy psu's have very few amps, and cant output what theyre rated at.

Quality psu's, such as Antecs, not only can put out the amount of power they say, but have a good amount of amps and can run over 75% without crapping out.

In fact, im pretty sure theyre underated, and can output more.

The psu that you already have should be fine, if you experience any problems and/or can't boot then look into a new power supply.
