Just bought a Gigabyte 6600 GT to replace my TI4400.

I have an Enermax LC-B350ATX W PSU (http://www.monarchcomputer.com/ImageViewer/100581.php?id=9)

Currently, I'm running:

P4 2.53GIG
On Asus P4PE Motherboard
GF4 TI4400
WD 80GB Caviar HD
Sound Blaster Live
Sony DVD Drive
Asus CD-R Drive
3.5' Floopy Drive

Will I need to upgrade my power supply? Or should I be okay with this? If I need to get a new PSU, I wanna order it before my GFX card comes in! Help!! Thanks :)
 
It should run fine as long as you dont stick another Harddrive in there. Should be sufficient for what you have.
 
shouldnt be an issue, I ran a 6600gt on a 300watt psu with 12a on the +12v with no issues. I run it now on a 350watt with 22a on the +12v and no issues.
 
Personally, I'd get mo' power...but its not required. Enermax is pretty decent. How old is it?
 
I bought this setup back in 2002... :( I cant buy anything new untill I graduate.. hence the upgrades. Okay, so I should be okay then?
 
Hmm..3 years old. If it was an Antec, I wouldn't hesitate.

I think you'll be OK. You'll have enough power.
