Building a cheap computer

[wannabedamned]

I already have, Memory, CPU, Hard drive, Graphics card, DVD writer and Case.

Now I'm buying a cheap Socket 754 motherboard. And am looking at getting a power supply too.

Now the Processor is only a AMD64 3200 socket 754. Graphics card is just a AGP 5200. It's going to have 512mb RAM.

So like I said. Cheap.

What I want to know is, What PSU wattage should I get, Will 300watt do? Will I need 400watt? Or somewhere in between. I do know the 754 processors are hungrier for power than their 939 cousins

Cheers

It would be great BTW, If i could get away with a 300watt supply

It will possibly depend somewhat on the PSU, a decent 300w PSU is an entirely different beast to a cheap one. However assuming it isn't a complete heap then yes you should be able to get away with a 300w, I probably wouldn't think about overclocking though.
