what PSU to choose for my old pc

balote · 02-11-2008, 01:59 AM

hello all,

this is my 1st time posting

just wondering what would be a good psu to use with my old p4 machine

the specs of my pc right now are as follows:

CPU: pentium4 2.4ghz
GPU: 7600 gs
RAM: 512mb ddr
HDDs: 2 seagate hdds
cd/dvd drives: 1 cd-writer
pci slot used: 1 for lan card
UPS: APC 500va

current PSU is a no-name generic brand and Im not sure about it's wattage

im planning on adding 2 more ram cards and maybe add in a cd-rw/dvd combo drive and a dvd-writer drive

im thinking about getting a coolermaster 430w or a task tk-945tx-df

any comments or suggestions?

thanks! :)

Edit: for cd-rw/dvd
