hi all, i'm currently planning an upgrade and would like to know if an Antec Truepower II 430W will cope with spec below :-

Intel I5 750 2.66Ghz
Asus P7P55D Mobo
XFX 9600GT g/c
Corsair 2 x 2Gb DDR3 1333
2 x Sata HD's
2 x DVD/RW
2x 120mm Case fans

Thanks for any feedback!

400W PCI ExpressR-compliant system power supply with a combined 12V current rating of 26A or more

Check it has those first, but the wattage should be fine.

With no overclocking and that gpu i'd say it might just about manage it. However if you're going to want to upgrade your gpu at some point in the future (which i expect you are if you're gaming) it would be wise to get a psu now which will give you that headroom. You would also be able to to overclock your cpu without any worry about power issues.

would i also get away with a Nvidia XFX 250 GTS 512Mb instead of the 9600GT with the Antec 430W ? Thanks.
