Might be pushing it...

Hi guys, once again.

Will a Enermax Liberty 400W Modular PSU, be enough to power:

Intel C2D E4300
GeiL 2GB 6400
Gigabyte DS3
Palit 8800 GTS 320MB
2 x 120mm Fans
2 Hard Drives (One IDE, and One SATA)
One DVD/CD RW Drive


Or is this pushing it?

Should I save up some more for a better PSU?

Do you currently have that PSU or is it part of a proposed spec that you haven't bought yet?

If you've already got it, then give it a shot. It may well be fine with that rig. If not, buy a new one like a 520W Corsair.

If that PSU is part of the spec you haven't bought yet, then I'd consider upping it to a 500W model. You shouldn't need any more than that.

You might get away with it ive got a OCZ modstream 450Watt PSU powering almost same setup :
Asus PN5-E
2gig OCZ 6400
2 hardrives (1 SATA 1 IDE)
1 DVD-RW
1 card reader
3 120mm fans
BFG 8800GTS OC
E4300 @ 3Ghz

All running fine no problems
