I've read a bunch of the posts, and I've seen a range of answers between whether or not 250 watts is enough for AMD + GeForce2, etc., and yet I still need some advice.
First off, is my 235watt PSU going to work when I upgrade to a Duron 750 OC'd to ~1000, a OCZ Gladiator Fan, & a OCZ Titan Geforce 2 MX? I mean, yeah, I know it's not ideal, but is it just not going to work? Here's the other stuff I have in my system:
2 Maxtor 20gb HD's
1 3com Nic Card
1 SB Live Value
1 ISA Scsi card (cheapass)
1 Creative Labs 50x CDRom
1 Smart & Friendly 2X6 CD Burner (Scsi)
1 HD Cooling Fan kit thingy (with 3 little fans)
1 PCI Card Fan
1 Case Fan
Floppy, Optical Mouse, MS Keyboard, Flash Card writer thingy
So am I going to fry if I try to install the new MB + Graphics Card?
Assuming the 230 watt PSU won't work, will a generic 300watt work?
Assuming that won't work, would a Enermax (or other AMD Approved PSU) 300 watt work? I can get a new case with a 300 watt PSU for the same price as just a 350watt or 450watt PSU alone. I'd rather just get the new case, since my current one sucks.
Keep in mind I'm on a budget, and really don't want to buy anything new just yet if I can help it.
Thanks in advance,
Chris
