it should be enough
but if you dont want to take a risk
get a 650 Wat PSU

Its not about watts its about amps. But what model is it? And I think that will be enough.

Now now new techie, don't steal other peoples words. But I guess that's good since you're learning.

Anyways, have you purchased any of these parts yet? If you haven't thats good. Motherboard : total waste of money. You can get the Gigabyte P35-DS3R or P5b/P5k Deluxe and it'll perform as well as the Striker Extreme and the P35-DS3R is a great overclocking board. Instead of that SAMSUNG HDD why not just buy a Seagate or WD? They're much cheaper. RAM, instead of Kingston, change it to some Crucial Ballistix/Magicstix. Lol, it's actually Ballistix but us techies call it Magicstix. For the 7600GS that card is fine, but why not just go with the 7600GT? It's a few more dollars and is a pretty good VGA. I would also suggest you go with the Xclio Goodpower 500W for a PSU. It's a decent PSU at a great price.

I hope you dont mean hes stealing your words? Well apparently he joined in '06 and I am pretty **** sure that this forum was enlightened with the knowledge that amps are also important as watts long before you joined.

Nope, not my words. I've learn from other people. But yeah, I guess I shouldn't have said that since I found out from peterhuang913 and b1gapl.
