is it enough?

 

[Blind_Arrow]

well OK,you are touchign limits. but this 420W has to be out of a very good manufacturer, as if u have decided for 420W. else recomended is 480W.

dont buy cheapo ones.

 

[GageMW]

alright well, i might have a little money to spend, its a thermaltake psu, should i go buy a bigger thermal or a bigger antec? do there own work better in own case?
and is it that important? i wanted to use extra towards speakers or monitor

 

[pc_boy]

i think 420 is enough. The computer only uses like 350, but it is good to have more, just in case

 

[GageMW]

hmmm... ok even with that setup? i heard 6800gts are hungry buggers... what do you think arrow?

 

[pc_boy]

ok, well you could get more if you are planning on upgrading

never bad to have more!

 

[GageMW]

what's pfc and is it worth it?

 

[jaksback]

I would get a new Thermaltake PSU. 500watt. I would also think about getting an rpm/temp gauge. Can get one to fit in your ROM Drive Bay witch looks pretty cool.
