My current system:
Asus A7N8X Dlx Ver 2.0, Uber 1007 BIOS
2X 512MB PC4000 Kingson HyperX, Dual Chan
1X 80 GB WD HDD (8MB Cache)
1X 15 GB Maxtor HDD
1X MSI 52X CDRW
1X Liteon DVD ROM
1X SB Audigy 1
Radeon 9500 Pro
2X 120mm fans, 2X 80mm fans
Thermaltake Xaser III HSF
etc....
So, using using Scorpion23's rule of thumb, which I am not agruing with, my rig should be using at least 270W. Add the 50W as overhead, takes it to 320W. Up until recently, everything was powered by a Sparkle Power Int'l 300W PS with 12A on +12V rail. Everything ran fine, even with the CPU and Vid card OC'd. I guess I got lucky. But just for the hell of it, I replaced that PS recently with a Thermaltake Xaser Silent Purepower 480W PS. It's actually the first PS that I have bought separate from a case purchase. Lol.
