[Giza]

Hi everyone, i have a question, im building a new PC using some parts from my current one, i bought a Pentium 4 631, a new mobo, and im gonna use everything else from my current including my Geforce 6600GT. The question is will my current Codegen 400W PSU be enough???

Yes, that's perfectly adequate.

Edit: assuming that's an efficient PSU, I've never heard of Codegen. Not one of those £20 budget things is it?

If it was a 400W seasonic, silverstone etc. then yes. Frankly, I haven't heard of Codegen so can't comment on their quality. If it's a cheap budget thing, then I would just buy a nice one for piece of mind. But maybe someone else who has dealt with Codegen can give a better assessment.

Yes, its one of those budget choises, btw heres the link (if it will help)http://www.codegenworld.com/03_produ..._id_search=182

In that case I wouldn't rely on it, may want to splash out for a new PSU. A 400W shouldn't set you back much.

Thank You! I think I'll buy this one from my next payday http://epood.ordi.ee/EPood/Product.a...emID=1810-1116

So is it good???

I have no idea what those prices relate to in terms of pound sterling, but the slightly (?) more expensive Seasonic would be a better bet.

Seasonic S12-430

Of course, the Corsair is nice too (520W) and would give a little more flexibility in upgrade options (i.e. graphics cards) but at 1,900 Kr that could be a fortune!?

Nope thats too pricey for me, I think I'll stick to the HPU-4M580

Even a quality 350W will more than do the job.

I have a 4 year old 420W Tagen powering an E6320 and an 8800GTS and it's still nowhere near fully loaded, if that's any indication.

Then you made a wise investment 4 years ago, so im gonna do the same right now
