I'm upgrading my computer and I'm wondering how good PSU I will need.

The specs are (probably):

AMD Athlon64 X2 3800+ (socket AM2)

2Gb RAM PC6400

XFX GeForce 7600 256mb

Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi Platinum

ECS NFORCE4M-A, nForce4 , AM2


I currently have a 300W PSU, but I think I'm gonna have to get a better one.

So, what do you say?
 
Yeah, you will have to get a better one. I would say at least 500W, and if you plan on upgrading in the future, at least 600-700W
 
^ what he said...

just get a nice one like 600-700w and you shouldnt need to upgrade that again for a while unless computers start having like coffee makers and dishwashers built in
 
get atleast 450 watt with atleast 22 amps on the 12v+ rail, that will easily power your system.

heres mine: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817103464
does my system justice.

Haha, they already have some with toasters built in.
 
How about this one?

Silverstone SST-ST56ZF, 560Watt, 24 db, 20/24 pins, 4 SATA connectors, Dual PCI-E Lane Connector, Black

+ 3.3 Volt 38 A (Ampere)

+ 5 Volt 40 A (Ampere)
