Hi, I would just like to know how much watts would I need to power all my components comfortably. My PSU right now is a 430w Corsair CX430 and I'm wondering if the system will be unstable if I add an SSD along with the NVIDIA Geforce GT630:confused:

If I can't use 430w to power all my hardware, then please let me know.:)

My current specs are:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 2.50ghz
8GB Ram
NVIDIA Geforce GT630
1TB Hitachi HDS721010CLA332 Hard Drive
Corsair CX430 430w PSU
 
I doubt if your complete pc pulls more than 150w so more than enough for what you have now. Just keep in mind if you upgrade to a better card in future that your so called 430w psu can only deliver 336w or 384w (depending on which version you have) on the all important 12v rail. The rest is made up on the minor rails where it's not needed.
