Many that posts different problems with sporadic boots
freezes etc. people in the forum often asks the
capacity on PSU's .

To get a pointer if you are overloading your cpu
some clever people have web based calculators to use.

Theese are not 110% accurate but might provide you
with power consumption data that gives ypo a ponter if
you are under or near or over the limit of what your psu
delivers.

Done.

A wise person once said "get double what you think you'll ever need". When I built the most recent system, I didn't exactly get double but purchased the Antec "True Power" 430 watt. This is the best power supply I've had thus far. Clean, quite, no bad plastic smells, and the fans only run fast enough to maintain proper cooling. Oh, did I say quiet?
