power supply

[timmer]

i dont know how big to get is 350w gonna be enought?
im going to have a nvideo geforce 6600gt
2 hard drives
1 floppy 1 zip drives
1 dvd burner
1 cd burner

350? or 400?

More info dude, what speeds are all these drives going to be at? What CPU and motherboard? Also, output is only one factor to take into cosideration when buying a PSU, you need to figure out what rails you need, and what current they need on 'em.

 

[neosteve]

I say 400 to be safe.

Get atleast a 400w like neosteve said,just make sure you get a half decent 1 with a good +12v rail,you will want atleast an 18amp rail,and make sure it has enough connector's for everything you need to run.

Go with a 500 watt, the more juice the better, 350 is not enough.

well i went with 400w because im only gonna have 1 hdd and 1 cd drive
and i might not get the floppy and the zip but this should hold me
