1024mb RAM
nvidia 7600GT PCI-E
Gigabyte GA-K8N51GMF-9 NF4, S939, PCI-E (x16)

17" crt monitor

how much wattage will i need from a psu?

i was thinking of getting aspire x qpack with a 420W PSU, will this cover it?

i cant seemt to find out as all wattage calculators i go on are old and dont have the sckt 939's and 7600gt's

and help/advice welcome
 
You need probably a 450 Watt minimum, but only a high quality brand PSU. Something along the lines of Antec or OCZ.

That, my friend, is crap, whether you're going to be overclocking or not :p

Go for it if you want to. But keep in mind. That PSU will not be running at 520 Watts EVER. If you're lucky, you'll get 350 out of it. Not to mention the parts that PSU is made out of could give out any minute, hour, or day.

I did a little looking around on that site... Why don't you buy a seperate case without a PSU, and go with this:
