Here are my entire system specs.
Thermaltake Xaser III case
Aspire 500W Power Supply with blue LED fan and clear case
Asus K8V Deluxe motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ clawhammer core with 1MB L2 cache
Visiontek ATI Radeon X800 Pro 256MB AGP
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2
160GB Maxtor 7200RPM HDD with 8MB buffer
80GB Western Digital 5400RPM HDD with 2MB buffer
LITE-ON DVD-ROM drive
NEC DVD +/- RW 4x
56K modem
3 cold cathode lights
7 fans
My question is, do you think my 500W PSU is enough for all this, or do you think I need more? It is not a TruePower PSU, so I guess it doesn't consistantly run at 500 watts. I would think 500W is enough, but regarding my 8 fps in Doom 3, I am not sure. I was thinking maybe it was my PSU not getting enough juice. Excuse my ignorance once again.
