Help me on my Power Supply

[PieDerro]

I'm about to get my hands on a TBird 1.2GHz which I hope to push to over 1.35GHz, and I know that this is going to require a fantastic power supply.

The power supply I have at the moment is a 250Watt one from Deep Electronic Co. LTD and it is similar (older) than one of the recommended Power Supplies from Deep on AMD's site. Now, as I recall from Anand's Power Supply reviews, the important values to look out for are the +3.3V and +5V capabilities of the Power Supply.

Mine are:

+3.3V: 17A
+5V: 26A

So, will I be able to use this to run a TBird@1.3GHz with 256MB RAM and a Geforce 2 GTS Pro?

Thanks peeps

you may be having pipe dreams of OC'ing past 1.35ghz- however if that's your goal then the PSU isn't going to effect the probability as much as good cooling, memory, and of course, good chip. i would definitely look into getting a 300w PSU if anything simply for peace of mind, it's not an exact science. i'm assuming you're going to be sticking several fans and depending on how many drives you have a 300w may be better suited for you, but a 250w isn't going to crash and burn your system or anything.

I'm getting one of those Lian Li cases (the PC10 actually) with the Topower 350W power supply (if necessary).

Its just that I wanted the only limiting factor to be the CPU in my overclocking. I'm even getting a 256MB stick of PC133Cas2 RAM from Crucial (btw I live in Australia).
