**** there, i recently made a computer, the computer consists of a;

Athlon XP 64 3200+
PCI Ex16 ATI Radeon XT1200 Graphics card
1024 Meg Ram
1 Hard Drive
1 DVD Rom Drive

Problem is i only got a 350W power suppy which came with the case.

What i'm wondering is, is this enough to support the computer?

Thanks for any help.
 
its athlon 64 without XP (xp is an older amd processor series) , you sure about the graphic card? ive never heard of it , anyway most psus that come with cases are cheap crap and likely wont handle it so better buy a new one , i recommend these
antec true power ii 430w 60.28$

antec smartpower 450w 52.30$

might seem expensive to you but its worth it , it will handle the system fine+it will never take down other parts if it will fail (alot of cheap psus do that)
 
thanks for your replies. I would love to get one of those PSU but thats the last option.

Would someone be able to explain to me about total amperage and how much i should be needing?

thanks again.
 
just provide the amper rating thats on the psu sticker,will be easier , but i highly doubt they will be enough+if its a cheap psu the amper rating is far from accurate+you gotta use an atx 2.0/2.01 psu (your psu is likely 1.3) otherwise theres a high chance of instability issues
