I would think it would depend on what kind and how many components you'll have in your system. How many hard drives, what kind of processor, video card, etc. Then you could calculate your power requirements and see if the TT 430 can handle it.

As long as you are not running any major firewire components or drives like the Audigy Live Drive II then that power supply will work fine. Being a TT PSU it should give the juice that the Prescott CPU demands.

Also you can check out the actual output of that power supply it may not be what is listed.The last time I had that brand and model here it tested 375
and was a fairly strong power supply. Good Luck

Can we see the system that you want to use the power supply in? Some specifications? It sounds like you are going to use a TT 420. That should be enough power for many systems, although TT is not considered the most reliable I think it should be adequate. The exception, however, would be if you are running a system that would require a more powerful PSU, such as multiple drives, SLI, PCI-E 24-pin required Motherboard... something along those lines. If you can provide more information I'm sure someone can confirm that the power supply you selected will prove sufficient.
