So... I just about have all of my components (waiting on the C2D E6600 to arrive next thursday) and am wondering if my Antec True Power 430 watt will run this system:
Asus P5W DH Deluxe
Core 2 Duo E6600 (going to do some mild overclocking)
Sapphire Radeon X1900 XT
2 GB Of Corsair DDR2-800 Ram (4-4-4-12)
1 SATA 320 GB Hard Drive
1 DVD-RW/CD-RW combo drive
I've calculated my required wattage to be roughly 300 watts on one of the websites listed here, but I just checked the X1900 XT box and it recommends a 450 watt power supply with a 12v @ 30 amps. My current 430 watt does 12v @ 20a. It seems like I'm very close to the threshold that my current PSU can handle, but I would like to save the 80 bucks if I could. Then again, I don't want to get my CPU next thursday and build my system only to have to wait another week because my PSU isn't good enough... Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
