Antec TruePower 430W - Good Enough?

[Skemo]

Heyo,

I've been a long time lurker here on XtremeSystems, now I'm looking to build a new rig. I have a question about some power concerns. I'm looking at building a A64 3200+, 7800GTX, 1GB RAM with a coupla ATA HD and 2 old CD-ROMS. Right now I have my old computer running on a Antec TruePower 430W PSU. I'm interested in doing some moderate OC to the machine (GPU and CPU). And was wondering if the 430 would be sufficent. I don't really want to go out and buy another PSU, but I don't want to totally :banana::banana::banana::banana: my OC endevours either. I'm kinda foggy about OC and PSU requirements, and I could some advice. Any ideas?

Thanks!
-Joe

If its the one with 26a on the +12v rail then it should be fine.

Hmm, no I think its one of the older ones (Purchased back in '02), only 20A on the +12v rail. Looks like I'll need a new one then.
