Would a 300W do?


Would a 300W PSU do for a Coolermaster 201 (case), Geforce 4 Ti 4400, 512 DDR, 60GB Western Digital, DVD, CD-RW, XP 1900+, Creative Audigy?

depends on which model you are talking about. I would say a Antec 300W would handle that easy but a cheap one wouldn't handle it if you plan on pushing that 1900+ too much.

don't worry 1900+ only cost 125! just kidding your system should be pretty sweet once it is done.

I'm not familiar with the GF4 but you should be ok, as long as you don't o/c. Just to be safe though, I'd go for a good 350W or 400W. Remember that if your PSU goes, something else might die with it, be it m/b, vid card, cpu ...

I think you should be fine with the 300W.

I think people go way overboard with POWER sometimes.
