adding some psu need help

my specs r below and i have 1 gb ram instead of 2 gb now i wanna run games on high and my comp handles them without problem

my qs is that iam now increasing my psu power to 550 watt will this be enough and also

1 of the trader told me that 450 wat would also be enough and there is no neeed for 550 watt is this guy correct or i shld go in for 550?

550W is not very good, you should buy one of 800W's.

depends on what psu it is

and its not how many watts a psu has its how many amps it has on the 12v rail.

a 700w psu with 15a on the 12V rail is crap and worthless while

an antec earthwatts 430psu has 17A on 2 12v rails

and a corsair vx550w has 41A on a single 12Vrail

550W is not very good, you should buy one of 800W's.

what are you talking about id suggest you dont post here anymore you have no knowledge about power supplies and prolly none for computers

for god sakes he running a P4 system with only an 8800gt

an antec earthwatts 430w psu can handle that

The actual post is correct, vx550w has 41A and the antec 430w has 17a on each rail

A. You need to tell us what PSU you're currently using.

B. How are you getting 5.4 ghz!? Are you running some sort of wierd Pentium D? :p

Well, I'm assuming you're not overclocking...

Open up your computer case and look at your PSU, read the labels and branding and report back to us. If it doesn't have labels or branding, you should probably replace it no matter what, since that's a good sign you're going with a noname that potentially can't even put out a fraction of it's rated amps/wattage.
