Hi, i might get a new PC and just wondering what you think

Xilence 420W Gaming PSU
320GB Seagate Barracuda SATA2 16MB
Logitech Cordless Desktop EX 110
Gigabyte GZ-X1 Black
Sapphire Radeon X1950PRO 512MB DDR3
Patriot 2GB PC2-6400 C4 Extreme Performance (2x1GB)
ASUS P5K Intel iP35 Socket 775 Motherboard
ASUS Lightscribe 18X 1814BL
Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 2.66GHz (775)

is 420W enough?
i dont have much money to spend (no more then £500) and if i get it, i'll probably get another x1950pro in a few months, is it worth it? can 2 of those compare with a top end gfx card ?

thanks

The Xilence PSUs are good - I'm glad you opted for that over the cheaper generic 600W PSU that's cheaper :D - It is only another £7 to get the 480W though...

They might struggle with a pair of GFX cards - I've got a thermaltake 250W Power Express PSU http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Power+Supplies/+Thermaltake+250w+Power+Express+VGA?productId=2540 5 doing nothing if you want it though...

Good little unit - I had it on my 7950GX2 when my 660W enermax went POOP (no, not pop - it was much more gradual than that). Now I've got a 750W PC Power & Cooling, the thermaltake just isn't necessary for me...

Lemme know how local you are and I'll see what we can arrange.
