Is 380W enough for...

coldfused · 16 Sep 2008 at 21:58

I can't afford a complete system upgrade just yet and I don't really want to wait any longer. I have a 380W Seasonic PSU built into my Arctic Cooling Case, will it be able to support a Asus P5K Premium with Intel Quad Q6600, 2GB RAM and my existing nVidia 6600GT. Later I plan to buy a new case, new PSU and a new graphics card. Its just that my system is presently slow and its really getting to me. To be honest, I only play CS and my 6600GT is fine for now anyway.

Thank you for your opinions!

380w seems alittle low, atleast its a decent make though

I would have thought it'd be alright with only a 6600GT and 2GB RAM.

Should be fine.

Easily enough, should draw under 200 watts fully loaded.

You should be fine as the 12v should have around 300W of stable power.

Agree with other posters who have said it will be fine.
