Hi guys, I've been looking into a christmas upgrade (you have to make yourself happy before you can do the same for others :rolleyes: ) and I was just wondering what your thoughts were on the psu I would need to power the following spec:

Intel Core 2 DUO E6300 "LGA775 Allendale" 1.86GHz (1066FSB) - OEM (CP-135-IN)
£99.99 £99.99
MB-061-GI Gigabyte GA_965P_DS3 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard (MB-061-GI)
£89.99 £89.99
MY-058-GL GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC6400C4 800MHz Ultra Low Latency DDR2 Dual Channel Kit (GX22GB6400UDC) (MY-058-GL)
£139.99 £139.99
GX-025-BG BFG 3DFuzion GeForce 7600 GT 256MB GDDR3 TV-Out/DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-025-BG)
£84.99 £84.99

£28.99 £28.99
Subtotal £443.95
VAT £77.70
Total £521.65

In my current system I have an intel 385W jobby, would that be enough?

Thanks in advance for all of your help

Sorry for the lack of information in my first post, I'm not very knowledgable about psus. So, there is a sticker on the side of my psu that says:

AC Input | 230 Vac 50Hz 8A
_______________________________________________
DC Output | +3.3V | +5V | +12V | -5V | -12V | +5Vsb |
_______________________________________________
Max.A | 35A | 36A | 18A | 1A | 1A | 2A |
_______________________________________________
+5V & 3.3V Combined 220W Total Output 385W


Intel Ver1.3 ready
ATX 12V

Hope this helps, thanks a lot for all the help

Thanks for your quick replies and your right it's probably not a good idea to risk £530 worth of gear, especially as I'm skint.

Could you recommend me a good powersupply to power this little lot that would be future proof, and cost around the £60 inc VAT mark?

Thanks for all of your help

Yep, I really wanna do some OCing with that little beast of a cpu, what would you recommend in terms of the psu, I would go for a Hiper but I have heard bad things about them.

Thanks Jonny
