This is what this system is going to be like after storm damage repairs:
ASUS A7N8X Rev2.0 (no use for me to have a Deluxe)
nvidia GF4 ti4200 128Mb
Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 80GB (might be upgraded to Western Digital SE - 80GB)
Maxtor DiamondMaxPlus 30.7GB
MS IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0a (will be replaced with MX500)
Creative Labs SB Audigy
16x DVD-ROM drive
12/10/32 TDK VeloCD CDRW drive (won't be upgraded, cuz of 48x CDRW in another PC)
AMD Athlon XP 2500+ Barton + Coolermaster Aero7+

I have an Antec 350W SmartPower PSU to put in to replace a damaged Enermax 350W PSU and i'm wondering if this sounds okay? I don't know how much power the 2500+ needs and I would like to know if the 350W would give me any problems. I don't think it will, but you never know.

Heh. I'm using a 250w Enermax to power an overclocked AXP 1700+ and Ti4200. Not that I would recommend this to anyone... but it seems to work fine. 350w should be plenty.

I would think that would be a bare minimum to go with. If you want to be for sure you have enough I would go with a good quality reliable 400W PSU.
