RE: new power supply, help
The wattage output is always stated on the PSU (it's a mandatory thing to put on PSU's).
EDIT: ay caramba, I forget, again, to refresh before posting... oh well...
250W is for many current basic systems critical and can be a case of just hitting the mark or just failing...
(although I never had any problems with my 250W PSU and P4 with 2 CD/DVD's, 2 big HDD's, normal graphics card, two big fans and a monitor plugged into it; but this can be a matter of quality of your PSU, not all PSU's of the same wattage have the same quality and there is more then simply the wattage variable, but this is something you shouldn't worry about when buying a +300W one)
300W is for many current basic systems relativly enough.
400W and you have plenty to go on for additional components...
450W seems like a lot IMO and for many current systems (even seriously power machines) more than enough with plenty to spare...
It depends on the price. But I certainly wouldn't go lower than the one you currently have...
