Question PSU ok?
I've got a gigabyte lga775 mini-atx, 9800gt, Q6600, two hdd, optical dvd-rw, and 2gigs of ram. Will a 350w psu be sufficient?

350W is pretty low for a PSU for that type of setup that you have stated, i would recommend atleast a 500+ if you plan on upgrading as well shoot for like a 800W to play it safe and have enough for anything else you would like to upgrade on.

I feel like everyone over looks the psu and try to sneak by with the bare minimum, jeez spend the extra dough and get a freakin' nice powerhouse PSU..

Barely.

You'd want to go for at least 500w.

It's not about being cheap because I do have an Antec 650w earthmate. It's about heat and an increase in electric bill. Does the Q6600 and 9800gt require that much power? I actually thought they were the low tier computing power
