Ok i'm about to replace a friends PSU for him :) (as smoke started coming from it and it really started to smell :eek:).

anyhow he has -
intel pentium 4 processor
1GB Ram
Single HD (Sata)
Single DVD driver (IDE)

I'm thinking a 350W would easily cover it maybe this it's about the right price.

Is this about right? Or should for future proofing would it be better to got for maybe a 400W?
 
what graphics card has he got?

its usually the most or 2nd most demanding component in terms of power draw

woops totally forgot about that. tbh i'm not 100% sure :confused: it's ATI card - i know it doesn't have any dedicated power cables (no 6pin connector) just draws power from the motherboard. and it didn't appear to be a full size card - hope this is enough to go on!

i kinda didn't even think about it since it didn't have any dedicated power.
