PSU Question

I think you guys were right about my generic PSU. Here is my nightmare thread:

Text

My comp was downloading 2 days in a row, and I shut it off for 2-3 hours. I think the problem is gone (i hope I don't jinx myself) Now I must invest in a name brand PS. I work at Best Buy and we sell Antec. How much wattage do I need?

ASUS K8V
ATI 9800 Pro->XT with Arctic VGA Silencer
Seagate 120GB SATA
NEC 2510 (RW)
NEC DV-5700 (ROM)
3 80 MM Fans w/ LEDs
1 120 MM Fan w/ LEDs
PCI Intake/Exhaust Fan

Only upgrade I may do is another HD.

Thanks,
Kishan
 
An Antec 430w is good. It'll provide plenty of juice, even if ur going to upgrade components, etc later on.
 
How about an Antec True430? Read that it has an integrated fan controller or something like that at newegg. If that quieted down the 3 80mm fans that would be nice, but not necessary.
EDIT: I understand how a PS can affect system reliability, but can it affect system performance?
