Hi There...

My AGP graphics card is knackered on my current PC, so rather than source a decent replacement from the now dwindling list of decent AGP cards, I've decided to bring my new build forward several months.

So, on to my questions;

1) I'm planning a PC based around a Conroe 6600, 2GB PC6400, GeForce 7900GTX, 2 HDs, 1 optical drive, 3 or 4 fans. Just wondered what kind of PSU wattage I'd need to be looking for - dare I try and get away with the 420W Tagan, or do I need to jump up to a 550W or so?

2) What is the supplied cooler like with the Conroes? I want things cool and silent, so would I be better replacing it with the likes of a Freezer 7 Pro?

Thanks in advance.
