Minimum 400 watt PSU for that kit, better to go for a 500 / 550 for teh future

Most of them tell oyu how many watts on the back, look at the back of your base unit.

Aye, funny you should say that. I have an Asus A8V D and I had to use the other connection to get it to work. It would not boot the first time. But all is sweet now.

Hi,

get any enermax 400 watt power supply... or targan...

but in real, you dont fucking need more than 400 watts..

with 400 watts i powered a dual cpu system with 6 harddrives, 2 cdroms and neon blue lights [those wich can be found below cares aswell, tubes not fuking noob shit]..

get over it guys... its not about the longest dick..

just get a psu wich will run smooth for a long period, wich connections are good and cables dont break.

if you dont want to much unused wires in your pc check out:
http://www.enermax.com/english/product_Display1.asp?PrID=7

else you can trust nearly all enermax psus, most of the targan, and alot of others...

post what the store of your trust have to offer and we can give you our thoughts..
