Does anyone think they will be power supply problems with the Seasonic S12 430W Silent ATX2.0 with a:
X2 3800+
ATI X1800XT
Geil 1Gig RAM
WD 160Gb HD
Asrock dual mobo
Asus DVD drive - Single

Basically a 460W was planned in before, however it is out of stock now and the closest in price range was the above PSU. Dont want to put a rig together for a mate then its not got enough juice.

Could always go for the 650W Q-Tec :eek:

lol

I have used the extreme psu calculator, just want to get an idea from experienced people. All will be left at stock most likely

Should be ok, I use one with a 3.8ghz Pentium D 805/x800gto. The CPU probably makes up the diference in power usage between the graphics cards and then some.

I run the rig in the sig overclocked on one, have not had any problems with it.
With 3 HDDs 1 optical and a bunch of fans.
