how many watts for this rig?

[dpopiz]

gah I plain forgot about needing a better psu in a system I just built for somebody -- I've never built such a monster -- anyway I'm having big power problems with the cheapo 300w so can somebody tell me how many I need for this rig:

xp2000+
32x burner, zip
512mb
wd 1200jb
audigy plat ex
gf2mx400
nic, modem

I've got to solve this prob quickly so any response appreciated
thanks.

Are you sure it's a wattage issue and not a power supply issue?

In any event, you should be fine with a 400W power supply. (Although I think you should be able to get away with the 300Watt one you have)

Just my 2 cents

300w for all that stuff?!?! are you sure? anyway yes, it's a very cheap crappy 300w but still I think I'd need more wattage for that rig
I tried the 300w HeroIchi from one of my comps and it was better but I still had problems.

PK,

A really good 300w will power your setup no problem, however if you are having power related problems I would second getting a 400w.

BTW, did you check the rails which your present PS is giving you?
