Is there enough Juice in this PSU for my rig?

[JPS]

PSU in question is a Seasonic 430W unit

System specs:
- Opteron 165 (dual core) to 2.5GHz
- 2GB DDR
- 4 SATA HDDs
- 2 DVD+-Rs
- 7300GT underclocked to half speed
- 4 80mm system fans
- 1 80mm CPU fan
- 1 AUdigy Sound Card

Do I need to step up to something bigger?

I think it will be close, but it would work. If it was me, i would just get a bit bigger one, at like 450-500, but that is me. If you were going SLI then i would definataly say you need a biiger one.

You could try this power supply selector. You fill in the blanks describing your PC and it suggests a wattage.

Would you like to make a more accurate calculator for us? 'Cause I'd love to be the first person to try it. What is that, you don't have one? Bah.

How bout you just figure out the wattage draws for the individual components and then conver that the amperage. Can't do it? Well I guess you'll just have to buy overpowered power supplies to make up for your lack of brain power.

It's by far the most accurate available, anywhere.

You should really learn to form sentences, before attempting to make fun of anyone.

You should be OK with that PSU, but you are running a bit close to the max.
Why are you underclocking your GFX card?

 

[Bobthelost]

Should be fine. Tiny graphics card power draw more than makes up for having 4 HDs.

Plenty of power, I wouldn't recommend anything more. Hell, you could add another 7300 and still have more then enough power.
