I'm building a new system and I want to transfer my current 535W enermax to it. To replace this psu I have a 400+W iCute psu. The psu has been running my Linux fileserver great, but as the AMD k6 333mhz system doesn't require much, I'm not sure how flaky it will get when it needs to power the following system:
AMD Athlon 64 4000+ @ 2.6Ghz
Asus A8N-E
2GB OCZ DDR400
evga GeForce 7800 GT
I have a few options:
Run the above system on a 350W Enermax
Run the system on the iCute
Buy a newer Enermax ~400W for the above system
Advice?

ya i would not trust that psu with that system a good one would be enermax, mushkin, ocz or any fsp psu.
Corsair HX 520. Put this one into the new pc, keep the 535 inside your current rig.

So it seems I must buy a new psu. I forgot to list my new system specs:
E6300 (3.2Ghz)
680i
2x6800GS SLI (500/1150)
160 gb seagate sata2
I plan on upgrading to dual G8X cards when newer, budget cards come out.
Will another 535 supply the juice?
