How is this computer?

Glad to help, generally speaking you dont need to spend more than $60 to get a basic, decent router

Ok, I'm back home now.

I made a mistake, I'll list the parts i currently have:

MSI 915P Neo2
Kinston 1 gig (not sure of timings)
Intel Pentium 4 3.0 775 (Processor 630)
Xfx 6600GT pci-e 128mb
maxtor sata 80gigs

I want to get a case which comes with a power supply, but the place where i bought the parts recommended i get a 450 Truepower, but the cases I can get either have 400,430 or way too many watts. Are the cases witht eh 430Watts enough to run the computer?

It's not just the wattage that matters, read PSU101. The Truepower 450 is quite a good power supply, but without knowing what the other ones are it's hard to recommend what to go for. Look particularly at the amperage on the +12V line. Most power supplies that come with the cases aren't great, although there are a few exceptions.

I am actually asking if 430W is enough to power the computer. cos thats what the thermaltake cases come with. I want to get a thermaltake case how are those psus?
