I'm building a computer for my brother. It will contain these parts.

2.4B P4
Asus P4B533-E motherboard
512 megs pc2700
Radeon 9200
52X Samsung cdrom
52x liteon cdrw
Antec Solutions case (with psu listed in the link)
40 Gig Hard drive

Will the 300watt be enough to power all of this? It's only going to be a work computer and not for games or anything at all so i may even lower the video card to something cheaper. I just need to know if it would be sure to run stable. Thanks.

Sounds good so far. A 300watt psu will be fine for that machine. Although, you can get a more generic 400-500watt psu for really cheap these days. And if your not gaming, you might think about the Radeon 8500. They run really cheap these days too.

Edit: I changed it to a 7000 because it's only 35 dollars.

Thanks for the tip but i'm getting everything through newegg. It just saves me a lot of headache that way. I changed it to a radeon 7000 for 35 dollars, instead of the 50 for the 9200. It's only an office computer any way. It won't be used for any type of gaming.
