Is my PSU sufficient?

[lopp]

Greetings, I am far from a pc god or all knowing seer. I know a thing or two, but when it comes to the obvious I lack.

Here is the question. Is my power supply sufficient?

Currently I have a 300w PS.
I am running (well going to quite soon...)

bfg 6800gt oc'd
wd740 raptor
p4 3.0ghz 800fsb hyperthreading if that means anything ;p
kingston 1gig 3200 ddr
Soundblaster audigy

No other thrills, just a basic gaming PC. I am using a crappy Hard drive and a p4 2.4ghz 533fsb. And I have no power problems. But Im curious with the new HD and processor will I need some more power?

If so, I will likely/obviously get a new PSU and a tower. What sites would anyone suggest me getting one from?

I'll take any feedback or info. Thanks

Don

If you have no problems, then power supply is suffiecient...
But I would recommend at least a 400 watt, preferably the Antec TruePower 480 watt.

I doubt it. Do you have blue screen errors or other problems from time to time?

Only once after tweaking for overclocking. Once the stuff comes in tomarrow I'll test it out. If it does not work then I will have to buy a new PSU
