Hey guys, quick question for you.

I'm helping my little bro upgrade his platform and we're wondering if he needs to dish out the extra cash for a new PSU. He's currently running a Rosewill Stallion 450W series unit, specs can be found below. The rig we're planning on is an ASUS 560 SLI with an AMD brisbane BE 5000 and 2 gigs of ram (plus the two cards which we already own.) two hard drives and two 120mm case fans.

He's currently running an old 939 3000 chip with 1 8600GTS and 4 sticks of corsair value 512 (he's using the two drives and case fans currently as well.)

Heres a link to his PSU:

I've run the two cards with no prob on a sunbeam 450W PSU which recently died on me, it had a bit more amperage on the two 12v's, I think it was like 15 and 16 respectively, whereas this ones 14, 15.

Essentially he has a small budget of $250 and we're trying to get the best bang for his buck.

Thanks in advance guys!
