ok

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Antec_Cases.html

third case down on that page has a

300watt built in PSU

i plan on buying a XP-M 2600+

geforce fx5700LE

512 PC2700 cas2.5

cd-rw/dvdrom (combi)

the board

Abit VA-20

a few case fans here and there

is that 300w PSU enough?

i have heard good things about antec PSU's and how they are really good, so
would that PSU support that system? or would i be looking at lowering
graphics say to a fx5200?

any advice appreciated

Thanks

chris

I would go with the 350 to 400 Watt power supply, or even greater if
applicable. The higher the wattage of the supply, the cooler it will run,
and the more stable it will be over its lifespan.

cheers jerry, i wish i could but the 300w PSU is actually built it, i am not
sure if it is removable, plus is there anywhere where 400w mATX PSU's can be
purchased? i have never seen any anywhere
