open up your case and see if there's a make/model on the PSU (the box that the mains lead connects to the back of) if there isn't I would recommend getting a new one regardless of what wattage it's rated at, as unbranded PSU's tend to fail unexpectedly often taking other components out with them.

Its a good processor/motherboard combo that you've chosen though.

well its branded =] its ac input is 220-230v 2a 50hz is that what u need to know or not?

2amps.? LOL

what wattage is it.?

sketch145 · 11 Apr 2009 at 20:27

rated wattage is the key figure really (400W/500W etc)

It would also be useful to know what other components you have (graphics cards and the like)

EDIT - beaten

Otakebi · 11 Apr 2009 at 20:30

it has some equation and says (= 115 w max) is that what u want?

Otakebi · 11 Apr 2009 at 20:32

i have a geforce 7500 graphics card wich is gonna be replaced soon errr what other compnents are u refering to? i think mine is a 250 watts one cuz it says total output continuous shall not exceed 250 watts

D D Danneh · 11 Apr 2009 at 20:38

Ah, yeah it probably is 250 watts. I would advise upgrading that, to a 400-500W at least.

thanks =] you lot have helped loads. would i need to get a new case for better coolamt system?

RJC · 11 Apr 2009 at 21:36

What size is the motherboard in current case, there are two form factors ATX and M-ATX if it's the later then a new case would be needed.

If your after changing your your case have a look at the Lian-Li range or the Antec 300.
