how powerful of a supply would i need to run these components smoothly?

I have a 300w supply right now and i want to know whether or not to upgrade my psu as well

thanks

Definite, go get a 500W PSU at least, 450 at the minimal

[svengeance]

He's fine with his 300w right now, actually. Depends on his 12v, tho.
But I'd upgrade. There's a good 500/550W PSU from Cooler Master for 55$. Get it.

ive been playing on an agp 6600gt 128mb and poop salad amd 1.8ghz processor for a while now and the gpu finally died so im getting a much needed upgraded.

I think the processor might hold you back..you'll want to upgrade that soon. Hell, that means a motherboard upgrade most likely.

[Kobl]

what would you recommend for a mobo and cpu then?

something cheap plox

[svengeance]

Well what's your motherboard?

1st link in OP

Processor is completely fine. 545 is basically a 550.

but if you want to i don't see the need though.

550, GIGABYTE 785

$152

cheaper than paying $180 for the mobo n cpu or

550, BIOSTAR 795

$172

Actually just get one of those Combo deals. Better Mobo and cheaper than what you would be originially paying for a CPU and Mobo($180)

Only buy from Asus or Gigabyte. Never get Biostar.

[dookie]

Biostar isn't bad. It's not Gigabyte or Asus quality but it's decent.
