power supply help

what are the recommended amperage outputs for a power supply for an amd duron machine?

i know its a good idea to have x amount of amps on, say the 3.3v and z amount of amps on the 5v and so on, would this power supply "cut it?"

its a pretty plain system, a duron 750, an asus a7v133, hard drive, cd burner, gf2mx, tbsc, nic, one fan.

That's plenty for a duron system.

The key thing to look at is the +5volt rail. for durons, stick with 20-25. For The fast athlons, anything less than 30amps is asking for trouble. My 420watt TT-Silencer has a 42amp 5volt rail🙂
 
cool thats the answer i was looking for

its here

its a cheapie, i hope i dont get burned on it, but i am one broke bastard running on a 140w psu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (blew my 250w)
