In most cases, you want: 400 watt PSU for a dual core or less. 600 watt for a quad core 800-1000 watt for dual graphics cards. The reason for getting more PSU than you need is because a PSU working near max is less efficient than one working at half capacity. also, PSU's come with a limited amount of rails. usually, the better rails come with the higher wattage drives ("SLI-Ready!" means it has enough rails.) I haven't seen the specs on the PII's, but I would guess you should get a 500-600 watt PSU.<br><b>References : </b><br> as a general rule, you assign about
