Power Supply Calculator

[tigereye]

I'm building a new system, and am running afoul of the budget (feature creep is wonderful). I'm looking for a place to make a cut, and am thinking about the case/power supply. It seems the easiest place to do it. A while ago, somone posted a link to a site that had a power supply calculator, where you would pick your components, and it would give you the total wattage you would need to power it. Anybody know what that link would be? I'm trying to see if I could get by with a 250, or if I really need a 300. I have a new generic 300 that I can take out of my current system, but I'm not sure that it would be much better than a name brand 250.

If anyone wants to chime in with thoughts, here's the system I'm building:

KK-266 (using onboard sound chip)
Duron 700 (probably oc to 133 FSB, not looking for extreme oc here)
Taisol CGK
Radeon 64 ViVo (Need the tv out as this will be a DVD/home theatre PC)
512 MB UpgradePlanet RAM (Wife's request/requirement for programming/3d)
Toshiba 12x DVD
$100 hard drive (best drive for that price when we go to buy).
3com 3c905 NIC (not purchasing)
FK-603 w/300 ATX (considering generic 250atx case)

So, there's not much room to cut, and I have a pretty set budget ($750 or less, preferrably).

Thx

You'll be fine with a generic 300watt..

You can always use the 250 watt powersupply untill you can afford the good one.

Yeah, I was hoping that would be the case. Hopefully somewhere down the road, I could get a better one.

I'd go with the Fong Kai & stock 250w. Your system specs are not extreme except in the memory dept., and the Fong Kai psu's have a reputation as solid. Cheapo cases and psu's aren't a good buy, imho.

Brown bag it for a few days to make up the $20.
