| 129281 | 2003-03-19 01:05:00 | Hi, I've just put together a computer and was going to use a 300W ps, but the saleman said that I needed to get one which with a greater wattage. The computer is an Athlon 2100 with 512 MB ram, 32MB Grphics Card, CDRW, 40GB HD. I had a look but couldn't see any wattage recomendations in the manuals for the parts. Now am I dreaming or have I just been upsold for no real reason? |

| 129283 | 2003-03-19 03:16:00 | A 300W would have been sufficient with just the hardware that you have listed but bigger is always better if you add more hardware later. Just consider the PC "future-proofed". ;-) :-) Out of interest, what size PSU did you get? |
