have you come to any decisive conclusions at last?
and did you overdraw your budget?

I think power supplies can be overrated as a marketing scam.

When I bought my new computer I kept the stock power supply. I think it was 450 watts.

I just don't have lots of gadgets in my PC. Only the motherboard, one hard drive, and a CD/DVD RW. My graphics card does not require extra power beyond what it draws from the motherboard. The CD/DVD is off most of the time.
