Do you think I need a more powerful PSU?

I plan to OC the processor and the video card. I currently have an Antec Truepower 380. Is this enough juice for the upgrade? I dont want to get a new PSU unless I need to. Plus, I barely have the money for the upgrade, and probably cant throw a PSU into the mix... Thanks all!

Is it the updated truepower with 24a on the 12v line?

You'll probably be good either way.

EDIT: you question and answers are a bit confusing... question is if you PSU is enough, and yes = get rid of it etc.
 
If your were just running the box straight up a 380 TruePower in my opinion would work just fine.

But if you are planning on overclocking your system I think you will find that the 380 could hinder your overclock.

In my humble opinion of course.
 
the ones have 18A on the +12V, like mine. But still, it's enough power. Unless if you're htinking of putting in a 6800U and overclocking, then that may hinder you a bit.
