Hello to everyone. I am a first-time poster, here at OSSN.
I'm preparing to do an overdue upgrade to my PC. Actually, I consider in a rebuild, as everything is going except the Power supply and that may have to be replaced, as well.
I'm installing an ASUS P5W DH-Deluxe mobo and an Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 CPU. Going from a Samsung 172T 17" LCD to a Samsung 226BW 22" LCD. It will have 4 GB's of Corsair, a couple of DVD RW's and two Seagate 320 gig HDD's. Not sure about doing RAID, but I want to have ample power for everything in case I ever do.
I know that the CPU uses 65 watt and the monitor states 45 watts. I don't know about the other devices, so I'd like to ask if the 430watt Antec PSU, that I have currently, will provide enough power to support Intel's new Core 2chip and everything else. Also, willing to listen to input on the devices I named above. Good/bad choice?
Any insight that is given will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
