Do I need a new PSU??

[tristanic]

So I am slooooowly piecing together a system and the next thing on my list is a psu...maybe. Hence the question here. Peritnent info: mostly gaming, bf2, hl2, fear, cod2, fear etc. Some photoshop and illustrator. I have never overclocked before but am open to it. Here is a list of what I am thinking about getting or already have:

CPU = ??? prolly an opteron or some other dual core amd
Mobo = ??? no clue really, prolly not one of those DFI (cause i'm newbtastic)
GPU = ??? thinking a 1900xt at the moment but we'll see what's out when I do my final purchase.
Monitor = I am really unsure about this at the moment, either a big ass crt or a new shiny LCD....hmmm

RAM <--already have 2gb corsair xms
soundcard <--probably stick with my Audigy 2zs plat unless there is some overwhelming reason to upgrade
speakers <--staying with my Klipsch 5.1 promedia ultras
Optical <--hp dvd40 lightscribe dvd/cd probably just stick with this and not bother with another cd
HD <--sticking with my two 74gb raptors here
Case <--have a lian li 6010

and here is the actual question....will my Enermax 465 whisper be enough for this or should I get something more powerful and maybe a 24 pin?

Any help on this would be great! I was planning on getting the GPU, mobo and CPU all at the same time around the end of March.

Should be good for most anything unless you want go crossfire. (ATI's version of SLI) But you could always wait until your ready, and upgrade then, otherwise it will be fine.

That should be fine. I definately wouldn't buy a new one unless you have problems once it's assembled.

Should be fine. 20A on the 12v rail isn't stunning stuff, but enermax will deliver it so it'll be fine.

12v 20A
20pin
2x80mm gimmick

DFI, Dual-core, 2GB, twin 10krpm, x1900 xt

That's not pretty.

Definately stick with basics first boot for POST (1 stick ram, vid card, no drives). Expect no support for your DFI board with a 20pin PSU. Overclocking may be very disappointing. Don't fail to simultaneously stress both CPUs and the GPU at stock speeds for stability. If you run into trouble heres the solution

So it's better to put it together one thing at a time instead of just throwing it all in and hoping it works?
