Intel Pentium 4 3.2ghz HT?
And a GT card?
450 watts at least. 2 rail.
Underpowered devices run hot, die sooner.

I'm surprised you can run your current computer with 300 watts.

19 Amps on 12 volts rail... that Is impressive for a 300 watt PS. I dunno if you should upgrade to GT without upgrading PS though, especially if you use 2 HDD's and 2 optical drives. I wouldn't (for the sake of a decent PS)
