What do you think?

Im thinking about building this computer.

Aspire X-Plorer Steel Case
Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 1.86GHz CPU
ASUS P5N-E SLI Mother Board
Western Digital 120GB ATA/100 7200RPM Hard Drive
Nspire ISO-500 450 Watt ATX Power Supply

Video cards will be added on later, but so far.... what do you think? Im new to this Computer building stuff... so i just hope i know what the hell im doin!

That power supply is WAY too weak. Get something with duel rails. If you plan to have a pair of video cards, I'd get around 36A on the 12v rails. But of course, this really depends on what GPU's you're running.

so whats your budget

 

[LittleHaiti]

what if i dont add the video cards. Is the power supply still too weak?

Post up the video cards you are planning on buying.

For now, this video card seems pretty good. PNY GeForce 7300 GS Video Card, PCI Express, 256MB GDDR2

I would get a 500W or 600W power supply with dual rails like The Other One said.

What are the uses?
If any gaming's going to be done, I'd strongly recommend against the 7300. At least it's not Turbocache crap though.

Get a 7600GT and a 500W Antec Neopower or true power
