Yeh. I have a 400 W one, so really, I should think about a new one.

Re: Calculate your PC's power requirement

Good calculator, nice find.

Doesnt quite cover my system but gives me a very good insight with a lot more ease.

Hmmm now what did I put in was it a 450 500 or 550, as im pushing close to the 450 marker

Still its not showing signs of failing as yet, following motto of "if it ent broke dont fix it"

Re: Calculate your PC's power requirement

Very good calculator. Good find there.

Its certainly important to pay attention to the PSU when building a new system.
I personally would reccomend Tagan PSU's.
