I am building a computer and i want to know what size power supply i should get for it. My specs are: 1.) MSI RS482M4-ILD motherboard 2.) Seagate 200GB SATA HDD 3.) Intergrated Graphics (ATI Radeon XPRESS 200) 4.) AMD Athlon 64 3800+ CPU 5.) 1GB DDR 400 RAM 6.) DVD Drive (Not sure which type yet) What i need to know is what is the Minimum wattage PSU I can buy and what is the Recommended wattage PSU i buy. Thanks for the help. Ryan

Here's a do-it-yourself site: Power Estimator Do yourself a favor BACKUP!

I suggest you choose a different CPU & get a *real* video card, even if it's a lower end model. Actually, I'd suggest a different motherboard too, preferrably one based on the nForce4 Ultra chipset. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817103013

This depends on what you're doing wit your computer. The Xpress 200 is actually very close to a Radeon 9600 in performance however the memory sharing would be an issue. As far as the PSU, you definitely alwys want more than lyou think you'll need. Enermax, OCZ, PC Power and Cooling are always good choices. Never go cheap on a component like a PSU>
