because you are upgrading a box, do consider upping power supply to at least 650 watt for load you will be adding.
huh? my system uses about 200-250 watts actual line current running full tilt, its a core i5-3570k overclocked to 4.2ghz, with 16gb ram, 1 250GB SSD and 2 3TB HDs... it also has a cuple PCI IO cards in it, and a NVidia 640 GT video card. Its got a 450W PSU, which is plenty.
the only people that need 600W+ PSUs are running two or more high end video cards
