I want to do video and sound editing, dvd authoring and some gaming with this new comp:
------
Intel Pentium 4 2.4BGHz 512K 533MHz CPU Northwood P478 Processor
ASUS P4PE/R/L/SATA Motherboard for Intel P4 478 Retail w/ Intel Hyper-Threading Technology, SATA, Onboard LAN, Firewire IEEE1394, Serial ATA SoundMAX Digital Audio System
Maxtor 120GB 7200RPM Hard Drive 8MB OEM
512 MB Crucial DDR C2700 ? CL=2.5 ? Unbuffered ? Non-parity ? 6ns ? 2.5V ? 64Meg x 64
WD WESTERN DIGITAL 40GB 7200RPM EIDE HARD DRIVE MODEL
ANTEC Performance PLUS Model PLUS1080AMG- with Antec Original TRUE 430W P4 Power Supply ATX12V
Cendyne or Sony dvd burner
M-Audio Audiophile 2496 sound card
Canopus ADVC-100 video capture card
Radeon 8500 video card
------
I'm not sure how to calculate the watts needed for my particular setup. My main reason for this post is to decide whether or not to buy the power supply separate from the case since I was aiming for the Antec 1080 with the 430 power supply - now I'm thinking of getting an Antec 480 with a different case. Your help will be much appreciated. Thank you.
