Yeah, so I was suggested to "run the numbers" on my setup in order to find out how large my PSU needed to be. However seeing as I can barely find similar products using the OUTDATED table, I was curious if anyone could probably estimate for me. PS: I don't plan to overclock anything except for my vid card.

MSI Neo 2 Plat.
2X512 Mushkin DDR
Samsung DVDR+RW
120 IDE HDD
Nvidia 6600GT AGP
2 120 Fans

I was looking at a 380 Antec True Power PSU or an Enermax Noisetaker 420. Anyone think those are too much or too small? I am not looking to spend much, just something very reliable and that could last me for at least a year.

Thank You.
 
i've got my dad's system running just fine on a generic 380 and his specs are almost similar to yours, cept the vid card

a64 2800+
160gig wd se
2x256 pc3200
dl df dvd burner
1 fan
asus k8v se deluxe
radeon 9000

i think if you don't plan on overclocking the 430 should be plenty fine, even the 380 should do it. with good quality rails i wouldnt worry at all. my desktop setup (in sig) has a lot more stuff in it and runs fine on a generic 400 watt with 4 wd se's, two 120 mm fans, now a volcano 7 (soon to be x 12+), and dual hi speed burners. and i've been starting to OC it without issue.
 
Wow, thanks for the reply. I really do appreciate it.

I forgot to mention, don't know how, but I have a 3000+. I might add one cathode later on, but not so sure as of now.

I guess it boils down to which brand or psu one would prefer. As of now for quality and price I am looking directly at Antec and Enermax.
