My power supply is a Dell H230N-00 (250w i think)

Pentium 4 524 CPU 3.06GHz 775LGA (clock speed 3.1GHz)

2x 512MB DDR2-SDRAM PC2-4300 (266 MHz) - [DDR2-533]

Intel(R) PRO/100 VE Network Connection

HL-DT-ST DVD+-RW GSA-H21N

SAMSUNG HD160JJ/P 149.0Gb

ViewSonic A90 monitor running at 1024x768 32bit 85Hz

am upgrading to:

ASUS P5N-E SLI LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI ATX Intel Mobo

BFG GeForce 8500 GT 256MB PCI-E.

    Both are good calculators. In my personal opinion, 250 is low.


  2. You can search for power supply calculators and the other answerer left a link.  I don't know what your budget is for this but the link is for an antec 500 watt 80-85% effiency PSU that's SLI ready. under $50.00  and free shipping. I received mine Saturday and installed. Modular cables and three 17 Amp 12 volt rails. Four and eight pin connector a nice upgrade for a good deal. Good luck

    If you order, choose budget 7-9 day shipping for the free shipping, it is default for $5.49 if you don't
