Trying to get my main computer rebuilt, and I was curious on what wattage PSU you guys would choose to power it.

I am trying to save money, and if I can use the PSU I already have, Antec TruePower 550, I would like to.

Here is a quick rundown of what I have listed...


ASUS M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3 AM3 AMD 880G SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz

GeIL Value PLUS 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory

HITACHI Deskstar 7K3000 2TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive

EVGA GT430 1GB

I am thinking of tossing in a new case as well. Im thinking the NZXT Phantom Black.

I agree, if ain't broke don't fix it! hell, a 400w would be fine.

I have a 500w in the Shuttle and that's on an i5, 4gb RAM,DVD drive, 2TB Caviar Black, Intel SSD and a 560Ti.

You won't have any problems, wattage wise.

If the PSU sucks then you might want to replace it but it seems to be working fine so I would leave it.
