hi
what is the recommended power supply for a system with a 3ghz p4 prescott cpu, 1gb ram, msi 865PE Neo2-V 1 120gb 7200rpm hard disk, a msi Geforce FX5500 video card and a cdrw?
i'm running it now with an 350watts power supply, that says:
+3,3v - 28A
+5 - 35A
+12 - 16A
is that enough?
thanks in advance

the system has no stability isssues (ran prime95 at full load, peaking 60°C, but no crashes).
Also, ran games like colin mcrae 4 for hours, the system got kinda hot (the case has 3 extra fans, that sucked out a lot of heat), but no crashes either. It surprised me that the psu is very hot when running unde load, so i wanted to check here if it is appropiate for this power hungry processor.
