Question about my current PSU

[mikecel79]

I have an Antec TruePower 380S PSu from my Sonata case and I just bought a new build and starting to have doubts about my PSU now. The new build is

C2D E6400
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R
Corsair 2x1GB DDR2-667
GeForce 8500GT
Seagate 160GB
TDK CD/RW
Pioneer DVD-RW

Will my current PSU be enough even though it has a 20 pin connector? The specs to my PSU can be found here. I think wattage wise it's more than enough I'm worried about the 12V rail though.

Be careful. Antecs specs have changed over the years for the same power supplies. For instance, the Trueblue 480W I own only has a 22A 12V rail. This is not the case with the latest 480W. When you look up specs you should compare them to the sticker on the power supply or in the manual.

That's my PSU but you can see their specs disagree with mine as mine is an older revision

Thanks for the heads up. I'll have to take a look at it tonight. Assuming mine does have 24A on the 12v rail would that be enough?

Im pretty sure that it will work. The C2Ds have low power consumption, and that video card doesnt need much. But, I wouldnt really trust a PSU that comes with a case, but thats just me.

It would probably work, but beware of bad caps..... The Antec truepower 2 and below line are full of fuhjyyu craps.
