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.
 
350w should be plenty. I'm using an antec 300w with my current set up and it has given me no problems.

Asus a7n8x Rev 1
2500+ @ 3200+
1GB corsair 3200LL
Vantec aerflow
9700 Pro
Audigy 2
Maxtor 80GB 7200 RPM
Western Digital 30GB 7200 RPM
Lite ON 48X CDRW
Floppy
3 case fans
2 CCFLs
 
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.
