Can this 400W PSP handle a 8800GTS and an E6600?

Hi!

I need to know if my 400W FSP Group PSP has enough power for:

8800GTS
E6600 (maybe overclocking some)
2GB RAM
DVD-burner
2 S-ATA drives

The specifications are here:

Thank you kindly!

Regards

Use this calculator (http://www.extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine) to check it out. Personally I think you would be cutting it way too close. Look for at least 500w

If I use your link I end up at 395W, darn it...

Word of advice....don't go all cheapy on the psu. It IS the backbone of the whole system.

Well, I already have the PSU in question and using it with my current AMD64 system. Since the C2D pricedrops I just thought about upgrading a little... :)

FSPs are good PSUs. Just get one with a little more wattage and one that's not dual 12v rails.

So you all say that my current 400W FSP PSU won't work with a 8800GTS and a E6600?

I figured you already had it. And no, I don't believe it's strong enough.

Short-term, probably yes. But over time it'll burn out by you pushing it to the maximum wattage like that. PSUs aren't made to run at their maximum rated wattage on a consistent basis.

Best thing you can do is get a better psu.
