I think that is it..............

I think that i should get a bigger PSU, but since it is an antec TRUE i thought it would be ok........... but what do u guys think?

I checked this at the power supply calculator and it said: reccomended 409 watts psu or something

It'll be a pretty tight fit, but your power supply should handle it...Antec I've always found to be reliable.

Don't be too surprised if your computer starts deciding to power itself off if you're doing intensive graphic work or playing a graphics/processor intensive game though...

I woudn't be overly comfortable with it...BUT the only way to se if it's good enough is to check voltages under load...if they are low...get a new PSU, if it runs fine and maintains good voltages...then i guess run it...

I wouldn't think its enough, you got 3 harddrives and 12 alot.

dang, that is what i thought, in prime95 w/ folding, and. playing games (UT 2004) my computer is fine, rock solid, but when i use Windows media player for videos, and/or when like clicking around really fast with many applications, it sometimes restarts on its own, which i find really annoying

so i think that im running low on power........

does that seem like psu problem to u guys?

especially since most PSU's don't max out at what they say, I would go at least 400 or 420 watts. or higher for future upgradability.
