Ok ive got this older rig (compared to my newer one) thats a gateway pc with a 950mhz Athlon with 250watt PSU and I was thinking about sticking in a new spare Gigabyte 7VRXP mobo I had, with like an Athlon 2100+, and 512MB PC2700 RAM. The pc has 2 Optical Drives, 1 250MB ZIP, 1Floopy, 2HD's (1 40GB and 1 80GB), 56k Modem, SoundBlaster Live Card, Ethernet Card, ATA133 Controler Card, and will soon have a GF4TI4200. Ive got a feeling though that the 250watt PSU will not hold under with the newer upgrades and was thinking about getting either an Antec TruePower 330Watt ot 380Watt PSU but am not sure which one to get. I will not be ocin, but I dont want to little power flowing throught the system as its on usually 24/7 and at full load quite often. Thanks!

If that stuff even fits into that case...I would recommend a good quality, name brand 350 watt or above. The 380 would be a good choice.

Actually all those things are already inside the case and have been under the 250watt psu in their for over a year except for the GF4ti4200, new mobo, new ram, and new cpu. My only consern will be the mobo fitting... ill have to measure that. ;) Thanks for the responce!... I was thinkin the 380 too so ill probably be going with that sucka.
