The PSU I'm looking for is OCZ PowerStream 520W, do you think it will handled all of that w/ stable rails or any alternative PSU?
 
that will be enough. im running a 300W, and im guessing im going to need a new one, since upgrading my graphics card. I saw a 650W today around £50, but that for me is overkill. what would anyone recommend for my system?
 
Original Poster: That PSU shouldnt do too badly for that system.

einstein2: What brand PSU is that? A cheap 650W PSU usually means trouble. I have a 520W Hiper PSU (~£50 from Komplett.co.uk) and it has had no bother powering a dual XP system with 1GB RAM and two hard disks, and three optical drives etc.
