hey =D

Would a 500Watt OCZ Technology (model no. OCZ500SXS) be enough to power:

Mobo: Asrock 4coredual Sata 2 rev 2
CPU: Intel Core 2 duo E7400
gfx: Ati HD3850 512MB (AGP 8x)
2 IDE HDD's and 1 DVD SATA 2 burner
and 1GB ddr2 667 ram
?
and... a flashdrive!


thanks!

:)

i would go with a 650W just to be safe, that way you have extra wattage if you upgrade in the future, but a 500W for that setup should work fine.

For the best quality mp3s use EAC (exact audio copy) to rip your audio CDs and LAME to encode them. Follow this guide:

500W is ample for that system. There are far better PSUs out there than OCZ StealthXStreams, but you could do worse.

A 500 watt should easily handle your setup. Your main concern is the video card and it requires a minimun 450 watt PSU. You only need a larger 550 watt PSU if you will be crossfiring x2 video cards or overclocking your cpu.

I have my phenom 9750 quad (95 watt) with 4x hard drives running quite happily on a 400 watt PSU.

You don't even need that. The HD3850 AGP would actually run happily off a 250W PSU for that setup. I wouldn't recommend it long-term, but it would certainly work fine. I used a similar setup to that one once, and it drew about 140W at full load off the PSU.
You can't crossfire AGP cards :P
