actually thats what i am planing to do here are new specs see
intel which u said and mobo
+ xfx 9800 GT
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150316
+ mushkin 4 GB (2 X 2) DDR2 800 mhz
+ Antec NSK4480B CASE (comes with ANTEC EarthWatts 380W ATX12V v2.0 80Plus Certified power supply)
+ASUS V-60 92mm Vapo Bearing CPU Cooler - Retail
and all of this + vista 64 bit for $ 553. 50
i know it is 50 bucks more of my budget but i think that this will give me better performance and last me longer
is 380 watts enough for a 9800 gt + E5200 ... i plan to overclock the CPU to 3.5 GHz and 1.31V with a 1333 FSB (10.5 x 333) and the 9800 GT from 600 mhz to about 650 mhz
i think i can get the corsair 450vx also but will have to postpone the new LCD my a month (already have 19" LCD so its okay)

Most calculators are inaccurate. It says u need 380 so what ur gonna overclock anyway. Maybe...... but u get the point.

never use the p.s.u. that comes with any case if you intend on makeing a good p.c. with all that
new expensive herdware you have mentioned in your top post it would make good sense in the long
Run. you have 2 remember that most p.s.u.s that come with cases are just cheap crap made 2 make
the case look good for what you are paying for it.
i have a p.s.u that come with a case what i am using just as a (temporary measyre) in one of my old
p.c.s i have thats just runing old crapy p.c. hardware so if it ever whent bang i would not lose any sleep over it lol.
okay so i will get the 380 for now and when i plan to overclock/save money ill go with the 430

Yea but did u read the first line. "Most calculators are inaccurate" and as mussels said if u are going on building a good pc NEVER use the PSU that comes with a case. I did that once when I found out my PC was dead in 8 months.
Were not talking about a raidmax or rosewell case here. He is getting an Antec Case which happens to come with an antec psu. Antec is known to have pretty decent Power Supplys so he shouldn't have any problems with it.

yea, spearman, it doesnt look like he gets, a few people, including myself told him to a) not to trust PSU calculators and b) dont get a PSU that comes with a case.
Though the Antec Earthwatts is not a bad PSU for the money, its actually a Seasonic OEM and their stuff is usually good, but 380W is not enough for his needs.

But understanding that he is one a limited budget, the 380 watt psu should get him by for a few months as long as he is not doing any overclocking. Most 500 watt psus are really about 350 watts. Thats why a 500 watt psu is recommended for a 9800gt when the whole system only really needs like 300 watts. Considering that it is a seasonic psu, it should be rated correctly at 380 watts and honestly he would probably be completely fine with it for the life of the computer as long as he does not overclock his system.
However he does plan on overclocking so I think the antec psu will do a good job holding him over until he can get at least a corsair 450 watt psu.

yes, i understand what u r saying and that hes on a budget. But he himself said he wants to overclock so he'll be needing something with more juice. I havent read reviews on this PSU, i only know that jonnyguru recomended the 500W version of it for budget systems, however it is still possible that it will not delever all thats promised on the label, this is why i take a cautious approach. Furthermore, when shopping for a PSU its always a good idea to get to a little more than you need, you dont want your unit to be running near or at its full capacity all the time. Thats why as i general rule i suggest that people get whatever they need plus 100W or so so it will give em some overhead.

I agree that it is always a good idea to have plenty of headroom when it comes to your psu. So i guess in his case he could wait another month or two to save up some extra cash or risk it I guess. I know myself, being on a pretty limited budget, have ran some systems on psus that were most likely a little to low but never really had any problems.
Also another good idea would to go back to the 3870 and get a crossfire motherboard (p35/p45). Then get another 3870 and better psu later on. That build should have no problems running on that setup with a 3870, its a lot less power hungry than the 9800gt.
