[denni0302]

Hey all currently my system is:
Intel Celeron D 346 3.06Ghz
1.5Gb of ddr400 pc3200 ram
Palit 6800GS Super g card (512mb ddr3)
Sata 80Gb 7200rpm hd
Acer e661gxm mobo
300w power supply ( )

I want to upgrade my computer to:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 (2.4ghz)
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic
120Gb sata2 western digital hd

Im assuming i need a new power supply, maybe 400-450w?
or could i still manage with my 300w.

thanks in advance

Definitely a new psu, I'd say around 500w just to be safe.
THis antec one looks like a great deal. Wait until you hear some other recommendations, though.

Oh duh, sorry, I didn't notice you were from AU. Any psu from a good brand (Thermaltake, Coolermaster, Antec) with two 12v rails and around 500w will be just fine. Antec just happens to be less expensive at the moment.

Coolermaster Extreme Power 550w V2 PSU
