PSU Help

The 480 is enough wattage wise. Most systems don't use over 250 watts idle tops. However, that PSU only has a single 12V rail rated at 18A. Most PSUs these days have dual 12v rails totaling 30 Amps. The problem you may run into is the CPU and GPU running load at the same time and the psu not being able to cope. I'd suggest the new PSU just because you need to get it sooner or later.

Most don't use that at full load, but otherwise good post.
 
OEM matters... I don't really trust thermaltake. Some are good and others are crap.. It's kind of a crapshoot with them to who makes it. kinda like rosewill I believe. Get a fortron...
