I've just aquired a brand new E4300 and mobo to swap for my (now totally defunct) XP2500+. I'm keeping my 1 gig DDR ram and 6800 AGP card for now.
Now my power supply is an own brand 420W supply from about 2-3 yrs ago. Whilst it ran an XP chip fine, so could a hamster on a treadmill. How will it fare with my new rig? Will it be a hinderance to overclocking. Am I an idiot for not even considering a branded power supply?

... I think it should be OK but find out the actual wattage (multiply the rail by its wattages, and add these for all the different rails) - if it is 300+ watts by calculations it should be OK.
