    Question Is a 350 Watt power supply

    is a 350 Watt PSU, sufficient for the following......

    . Asus P4P800SE Mobo
    . 2 times 256MB Ram (400Mhz)
    . SATA Hard Disk (7200RPM, 8MB Cache)
    . Sapphire Radeon 9600 128MB Graphics Card
    . CD-RW drive, Floppy Drive
    . Intel Pentium 4, 2.8Ghz, 800FSB, not Prescott.

    This is the outline of the parts i have ordered, please could someone tell me if the 350 Watt PSU, i have ordered will be more than enough for this, considering that i will also be using a Joypad, and a Broadband modem from this supply.

    Thanks.

    Looks fine to me...I have more than that lot in my current P4 system and it's also using a 350W PSU.

    Yeah, I'd agree with that as well. As long as it's a P4-rated PSU (they're different in some way to PSUs for P3s and earlier processors), then 350W will be fine for that stuff.

    It's having a lot of extra drives (e.g. two hard disks, a DVD and a CDRW) that tends to require more power.
