My PSU is a generic 500 watt that came with this computer when I bought it online. Is it going to be enough to run the setup you detailed eclipseaudio4?

^^^ Agreed

@OP

It might But would not be worth the (good) possibility of damaging your new components. I would grab on of the PSU's I listed earlier. (great deals there)

Just a little FYI: The two places never to skimp are the MB and PSU.


just so It's easier to findPSU's

This is probably the best advice anyone can give you:

Build a new system.

Yeah thanks. I think thats what I am going to do. Probably build the one Eclipse lined out for me. I will have to go a bit over my budget though to include a new PSU. The wife is going to kill me . Oh well.

Here, in the buy and sell section, but I think you need to have permissions cause I can't access it, like I can read it but can't reply to anything.

Or there is always Kijiji.
