    Will 460W be enough?

    Hello there,

    My rig needs an upgrade, but i want to spend as little money as possible. So i was hoping to keep a few things from my old one, including the power supply. But i'm unsure if it will be enough to power the new system, the spec will be:

    C2D e6400
    2GB ballistix 800mhz
    BFG 8800GTS 320mb
    320gb SATA HDD
    Gigabyte GA_965P_S3 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard

    Will a 460W power supply be enough for this?

    And if anyone has any advice on better specs for value for money, please feel free to say

    So do you reckon 460W will be ok? or will i need to upgrade?
    If so are there any recommendations?

    Well i haven't got the parts yet, so it isn't working. I was just unsure, what with the 8800 gts, whether 460W would be enough for it?
