worth upgrading PSU?

i currently have a 350watt antec smartpower PSU..

im looking to upgrade if it is worth it - more efficient quieter, less heat production

i believe the smartpower is still a pretty good PSU :confused:

It's good yep, but if you plan to upgrade then its advisable.

Anything from Seasonic, Enermax or FSP will be a good choice

Stick a seasonic 600w in there, youll never have to worry about PSU fora long time after that, and shouldnt have a single problem, best thing to do in my opinion, nothing wrong with having too much power

If you plan to overclock then a better PSU will make your system much more stable. I had a Antec 330w Truepower and the CPU voltage dipped constantly after overclocking. No voltage problems after installing a 550w Antec.
