Im building a new system; i already bought most of the parts...


Is the Tagan 480W Power supply enough to power:

AMD Athlon64 3200+ 90nm
Asus A8N-SLi with dual Geforce 6600's
Two WD 250GB drives
DVD-RW
CD-RW
2 Sticks OCZ PC4000 512x2
Audigy 2 Pro w/ input box
Vapochill XE Standalone System

plus fans and all that stuff
?


note:
* i also plan to do some overclocking
* this PSU has 30A on the 12v line
* vapochill itself is said to use up 100w


thanks in advance...

Yeah prolly but it will be fairly close. For what your doing I'd get the PCP&C 510, 34A.

you would probably be better of with a pc power and cooling unit or maybe an ocz 520W unit

The vapochill will not run on your powersupply from your computer, it uses its on AC power. With extreme overclocking on an amd side coupled with SLI, I would consider getting a more powerful power suupply, pc power makes some of the best I have seen, I am using an Enermax 600 watt PS and I havent heard it over the rest of my fans, which are generally silent unless I cracnk up my 120 cpu, and also I have never seen my 12v rail fluctuate by more than 0.1v, even at 2.6ghz

From what I'm reading the Vapochill PE and XE both use the power supply.
The Vapochill Lightspeed doesn't, it has it's own power source.
