For christmas I'm building myself a computer (I got other stuff for people other than myself too...) and I always planned on using the 420watt Raidmax power supply that came with my case a bough awhile back. The computer project has changed alot since I originally planned and it will use the following:
Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe
AMD 64 3700+ San Diego Core
eVGA Geforce 6800GS PCIE (one card no SLI)
2x512mb TwinX Corsair XMS
200gig SATA Maxtor HDD
and an undecided DVD-Drive (likely to be a Pioneer DVD-RW drive)

So I need to know that without overclocking will this simple computer setup be consistently run on a 420watt because it is something I would like to wait on upgrading if possible. I know the PSU works as I used it on an old P3 motherboard and seemed to boot okay.

you better rethink your christmas present cause that 420 watter sucks.get yourself between 500 and 600 watts thats sli ready...pc and cooling i think there called have the best power supply out there right now thats sli tested.

this is the best performer out today if you can efford it buy it so you dont have to buy different ones for a while...the hyper r i have maxes peak power at 630 watts and run a continuous power supply at 580 watts.that raidmax is history,long gone unless you have a athlon xp or something like that.....3800+ amd64,no good for the specs you listed....hope this helps....peace
