I don't think 280 is enough... is there an external card too? p-4 systems normally have 350psu.

i would go for a 300-350w psu for that setup.

i think that would be sufficient for a short time maybe even long term if u dont have a graphics card or any other things of that nature a 280 would be fine to hold u over

wow. i got a 140w on a system that needs 300. insane.

well go for a 350-450w system
