Is english your first language?

A quality 400w-600w powersupply is the norm. If you have an integrated video device, one harddrive, and a power efficient dual core CPU, you could easily get by on a 350W PSU.

Once you start adding multiple drives, dedicated videocards, and high performance fans...the power consumption will go up.
