Unhappy Buying the correct PSU? :confused:

Hello all,
I would like some advice for the best PSU for my system:

Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L
4gb Ram
9600 GT
Intel Q6600 2.4ghz (will overclock most likely)

Currently I have 600w from my old build. Will this be enough?

Thank You in advance!

Depends on the manufacturer of the PSU. Any respectable make: Antec, Corsair, seasonic etc will have no problem.

Hmm. It looks to me like you want to use your old PSU on the new setup.
It's like I said. Get a cheap 600 and have problems. Get a reputable 600 and have fun.
Personally, I would replace the old if it's well used with something like a Corsair 650. Unless it's allready a decent unit you have.
Unless I still got it wrong, 600 should be fine.

If you want to be sure, get the motherboard manual from Gigabyte, it will tell you what you need to know
