    Power Supply [RESOLVED]

    As you all may know, I'm building my own PC (I've posted on here several times about this) My latest (and final) question is reguarding how big of a power supply I will need. My future computer is looking like this:

    Intel D865GBF i865G P4 800FSB Skt478 DDR ATX Motherboard
    P4 Intel 3.0 GHz Processer
    256MB ABIT RADEON R9600 (Cheap Card, I know)
    2 fans (hopefully)
    1 GB of RAM
    Mouse, Keyboard
    120 GB HDD
    12 X DVD-ROM Drive
    48X ? CD-RW Drive
    And maybe a few USB devices

    I tried the goosehump's super genius XXX l33t PSU calculator, but it doesn't go up to 3.0 GHz processors, so now I'm stuck, how big of a power supply would you reccomend?

    Also, can you reccomend a good site to buy cases that have (2) fans and power supply included, and ones that look like traditional cases, not the "Alien Ware" or anything weird?


    Thanks in Advance

    I'm thinking that 350 W should be enough to handle all of this, or should I go for a 400 W case?

    350 would probably do fine. Could probably even get by with a 300. Depends if you're planning to expand.

    As for a case, I have a Codegen(CASE-9011C10), it's pretty cheap and does the job.

    I'm going for at least a 350W, just making sure I don't have to go any higher

    I have 340W and I have a:

    1900 MP
    1Gb Ram
    120Gb HD
    200Gb HD
    48X CD Burner
    4X DVD burner
    ATI Radeon 9800 PRO
    2 screens
    3 fans
    2 Firewire ports for Digi Cam
    6USB 2.0 ports (with wheel/pedals, scanner/printer/mem card reader/digicam/pocketPC)

    and a lot of other unusfull stuff. So I guess you can manage with a 350W too....
