450W Enough?

[Salacon]

I have an Antec 450W PSU, and I was wondering if it was enough to power all of this proficiently:

AMD Athlon X2 4400+
2GB PC3200
Two CD/DVD combo drives
250GB HDD
GeForce 7900GT KO 256MB

If you need to know more, just tell me. Also, I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section of the forums. I thought it fit, so I put it here.

What is the brand of the PSU, this is what really matters. (Well the amps on the 12v really matter, but a good brand PSU will supply stable voltages.)

Quality brand

Antec, OCZ, other stuff

Yes

Anythign else

NO! It's going to blow up!!! :classic:

Yeah, as I said in my topic post, it's Antec. Thanks, I'm glad I don't need a new one.

This one then right

I can't say for sure, but I'm pretty sure that's it. I bought this PSU last Christmas or the Christmas before, so I'm not sure exactly.

Edit: Off topic, but if I'm not going to overclock my RAM, does the CL really matter?

450 sounds a little meager for that system.

So should I go to 500W or 550W? I doubt I'm going to go SLI...

If it works and you have no problems then you're fine (hopefully..) Otherwise you may want to look into a 500+ by the end of the year at the latest..

Why Not try it out, and If it works then keep it until you have a reason to replace it.

However, If you have the money right now, then IMO Buy a new one.
