You think I need more power?

[Namuna]

Here's the rundown, let me know if I should order a chunkier PS or if I'm good with what I got.

The Case/Power:
Enlight 7237 w/250watt PS

The Rest:
MSI K7T Pro Mobo (Socket)
700MHz T-Bird
128mb PC133 Cas2 stick
2940UW PCI card
V3 3K AGP video
SB X-Gamer Sound PCI
8Plex SCSI CD
CD Burner SCSI
Sloppy Drive
18Gig SCSI-3 Drive

The Mobo/Mem/Processor doesn't get to me till Early next week. Should I just go ahead and order the chunkier PS (thinkin about the Antex PP-303x)or should I be okay with the Enlight 250?

Thanks.

Athlons are picky about power supplies. Based on the components in your system I think you could get by with a 250w. However, with the Athlon there may be a problem. In other words, I think you have enough power to run the components, but the quality of that power may cause the Athlon to become unstable. Is the Enlight 250 on AMD's list of approved PS's? If not then I would get the 300w. If it is then you can try it with the 250w.

If you do get a 300w the Antex is a great choice. Sparkle/Fortron Source and also very good.

Call up Scottie and tell him to beam you down some more power

I don't think you have enough power there. With 250W, you probably can barely meet the power requirement. I would recommend a 300W PS. Antec 300W is a good candidate. You can purchase one for $35 at egghead.com. Their shipment cost is cheap and the Antec PS is among the best ones out there. Enermax is a little better but costs too much for a marginal increase in quality.
