Wattage Question

[600Burger]

Im buy a new system....

Asus P4P800
P4 2.4GHz
Problly 512mb DDR 400 PC3200
ATI Radeon 9500 Pro
Santa Cruz Turtle Beach Sound Card
NetGear NIC
CD/DVD
Floppy

Is all the stuff in it....My question is do I need a 400W power supply, or will I be safe with a 350W, or even 300W. Tell me your opinion. Also could you tell me so credible sites to buy from, theres alot on newegg.com, but maybe theres something i don't know about. And what brand of PS is "best" won't fail, or die, or blow up in my face.

Thanks!

quality over quantity. 350W antec or enermax would be enough but i wouldnt go lower than that . In my opinion, the antec truepowers are the best PSU's around. i think a 380W truepower would be a great choice for you

here are some places i buy from:

newegg
googlegear
monarchcomputers
svc
mwave
directron
