PSU Question

[j1b5c]

Alright, I'm planning on buying this case right here: http://www.newegg.com/app/View...=11-129-127&depa=1 I work at Circuit City and we sell it, so I'll be able to get it pretty cheap. Anywho, inside there will be an p4 3.4 ghz w/intel desktop board d915pl, one 200 gb hard drive, one cd-rom, and an ati radeon x800xt. Is this 380 watt Antec power supply going to be sufficient for a stable computer? Or should I buy the case seperate from the power supply and buy like a $100 power supply?? Thanks for replying in advance

I work at circuit city too and are discount sucks buy something off newegg it will a higher watt power supply for less money. I see your taking advantage of the intel accomadations though. I just got my board and processor as well. Look at our employee web site we have just got accomadations from ATI as well. Also take a look at these hard drives they will really improve your performance in a raid 0 with ncq enabled. http://www.newegg.com/app/view...=22-152-015&DEPA=1

In that case, could anyone put me in the direction towards a good case w/power supply. I'm looking for a mid tower that is black.

Newegg.com - JUST PC JPC899BK Cases (Computer Cases, ATX Form) I just got this, nice case and has power supply 450watt power supply but dont know how the quality is yet on the psu.

also have question for you .... Since you have to use DDR2 which ram are you going to use? A link would be nice.

Right now, I'm thinking about going with this http://www.newegg.com/app/View...=20-144-152&depa=1 or this: http://www.newegg.com/app/View...=20-144-165&depa=1 . It's pretty tough to find good deals on ddr2 ram and I don't trust the sites on pricewatch that have 1 gb for $220. Ram is probably going to be the last thing I buy for my system. Hopefully it will drop in price in the next month....but probably not

That Antec is a better case with a better power supply that is more than adequate for your P4 with only two drives.

The power supplies in thos JUST PC cases are among the lowest quality available. I'd rather have a 300W Antec then a 450W Just PC.
