At the moment, I'm running a 350 Watt Enermax powersupply from late 2001.

I'm finally upgrading my AthlonXP rig to a Socket 754 A64. I run:
4 IDE drives
2 Optical (CDRW & DVD ROM)
768 Megs of ram
Radeon 9600Pro
Turtle Beach Santa Cruz for sound
Leadtek TV tuner
An old netgear NIC.

The upgrade will allow me to drop the NIC but I will have to pick up an ATA133 add in card for my drives :(.

Anyway, I don't think my PS will like the new CPU and the Gig of ram that I'm bumping to won't help either. I'm looking at this PS, which seems to be a good deal. Should it be able to handle the load, and does anyone know how quiet it is?

the 350w enermax should be able to handle it as long as you dont o/c but yeah i would go for atleast 400w just to be safe.. but i dont know about buying TT PSUs.. i stick with Antec
