Black Friday had some great deals so I bought parts to start constructing a new computer.

I'll have:

-Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
-2gb pc2 6400 OCZ
-8800GT
-Three SATAII 300GB harddrives
-1x dvd burner
-MSI P35 Neo2 Motherboard

----------

I have an antec case I got last year (AUG 2006), the P150 and it has this PSU:

"High Efficiency 430-Watt ATX12V v2.2 Neo HE power supply"

I wasn't planning on building a new computer prior to today so am trying to save some $$$ if possible.

-Will this setup be STABLE with my current PSU?
-Will this setup have any potential for overclocking?
-Are there any risks of damaging my new hardware with the PSU?


Thanks for the help~

We'd have a much better forum if more people would clear cmos before posting ;)

430w NEO HE has 384w on the 12v rail(s), meaning its 32a. It should work. Do realize you can easily pull near 250-300w with that rig, 100w from the 8800gt, 125w from the q6600, = 225w allready. If you overclock, it will be more. Should have bought a new PSU during blackfriday as well if you ask me. How long have you been using that NEO ? It will prolly run your rig just fine, question is, for how long ...
