Depends on the components of the system. You can usually get a good idea from the requirements for the video card you choose. They give you a number for the whole system. Not the card alone. And it is always better to have more than the minimum. The more fans, optical drives, harddrives, UV Lights and accessories you have, the more amps you need.

Any power supply can be good to you for many years, its just the ones that are branded "avoid" are more LIKELY to give you problems than the reccomended ones.

| Re: Updated Power supply guide Rosewills aren't that bad actually. If you look on the guide they are for the cheaper end though.. You shouldn't and I qoute shouldn't have a problem with it.
