That will probably work. You might want to bump it up a little in case of future expansion though. A 400watt would give you quite a bit more overhead for not much more money.

I have a Sparkle 350W and if I understand correctly they are the same as Fortron Source. This is a very good PSU, but I would be hesitant about having only 350W when it shouldnt be much more to step up in the 400W range. I put my 350W Sparkle in my intel 3.0E rig for a couple of hours. Even with 2 DVD Burners and 4 HD's it held the voltages fine. Understand though that you will be heating up a smaller PSU alot more than a larger one. All that extra heat is a waste of energy.

Yeh, that will work fine.

Yeah I have a feeling about the low wattage - so I bought:

Akasa Paxpower Black 400W ATX12V2.0 Ultra quiet PSU @ £33.95(39.89) each.

I have the 460w version, its better than my £120 Globalwin Saf420 and cost half the price.

I'd have bought the 460W version, but it was an extra £15-20 which my wallet/loan couldn't morally take :lol:

Well I just spent my last £3 on petrol so I could get to work! Do you know how stupid I feel getting £3's worth of petrol? And you think you have money problems.
