[SOLVED] 430w PSU

Hi. I'm upgrading my mb and cpu. I want to get a 4Xcore AMD or Intel (haven't decided yet) and at least 2gb DDR2 ram. I did the PSU calculator and it says all I need for power is just over 400w. I think it was like 411. I also have an ATI Radeon X1950 pro. I am on a budget so I really don't want to buy a new PSU if I don't have to and I do have a 430w PSU that is a few years old. Would you recommend I use the existing PSU or do you think I should upgrade that as well?? I want to do this right, so I'm doing my homework! Thanks.

Re: 430w PSU

if it came out at 411 you will be at a min req.550w
the 430 will not run it for long if at all
