i'm upgrading my m8's pc, gonna strip every thing but was thinking about using his psu that hes got in the new rig.
his psu is a hiper 3s425 and the new bits are...

Asus A8N5X Sck939,PCI-Express,SATA,Lan,Snd Motherboard
AMD Opteron UP 146 2.0Ghz Socket 939 64bit Processor -OEM-
Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro Sock754/939 Cooler
Corsair Value Select 1024Mb DDR400 KIT (2x 512Mb) Memory
XFX 256Mb GeForce 6800GS XXX Edition PCI-Express VGA Card
160Gb Maxtor DiamondMax 10 SATA I/II 300 7200rpm Hard Drive

or should i also get a HiperPower 480Watt ATX2 24Pin Ultra Quite PSU just to be safe??

any thoughts??

That psu is 425w im assuming? If so I would have thought that it would probably be ok, but if he plans to overclock then I would get something around the 500w range.
