Planning to buy the following system. Can anybody advise what's the PSU wattage (true power) that I need to buy?

Core 2 Duo 8400
Asus P5K SE/EPU mobo
1GB X2 Kingston DDR2 KHX6400D2K2 RAM
160GB SATA hard disk
Radeon 4850 graphics card
Sound blaster live sound card
1 DVD Writer
1 mouse
1 keyboard
2 casing fans (80mm)

400w to 500w enough already

Does all branded power supply come with power connector for graphics card?

yes they will provide at least 1 pci-e power connector

Any recommendation on PSU and casing which I can get below RM400?
Hopefully it's a mini or micro ATX...

icute casing around RM150, silverstone 500waat. total around RM400

Silverstone power supply so cheap?

just get urself a silverstone strider 560watt psu...reliable and its around rm320 like that

I am not planning to overclock or anything, can I just get Icute casing which comes with 450W power supply?

Your Mobo and GC cannot put into M-ATX casing

OK, thanks.
So do you thinka normal Icute casing which comes with 450W power supply will do?
I don't overclock.

that 450W from ICUte is not true power so cannot..it will burn ur computer

What about CoolerMaster 450W Real Power?

yup this can...No problem on single 4850...my AMD rig also using this PSU

im using old Icute 450W psu..it power my P4 HT + 3850 + 915GEV mobo + 1hdd + 2 rom + 5fans

will they burn 1 day?

depends on ur luck-la my friend
i have been using cap palang PSU for 7 years without any problem, while some have their parts burned after few days usage
but if i were to own a 38xx or 48xx series graphic card, i would not risk it, get a Silverstone ST50F for a peace of mind

Get a Cooler Master Centurion 5 casing for around RM180 and get a Huntkey 550w True Power PSU from zhen^wei RM149. Total = RM329. Well within your budget and more than good enough for your system

Can try out Enermax PSu, try the latest model the PRO82+

promote ur icute ka?
TS, get CM690 + CM Extreme Power Plus 500W

Actually,i use Inwin 350W PSU on my rig.I oc to 4.77ghz but haven't blow yet the psu
Anyway,i recommend Corsair VX550W(RM330) + whatever casing you want.I recommend Lian Li PC7 or Cooler Master CM690

His budget is below RM400

YUP. I had 2 PCs installed with both ENERMAX FMA II & just newly bought ENERMAX PRO 82+. NO complains and very satisfied

Truly agreed ! Cheap thing no good, not worth to take risk...., only normal dealers will push you to tell you any PSu is the same for the sake of take lesser time to convince you to get a better but more expensive PSU

Can ask your friend to try out the Enermax Pro 82+ 525w.
The price should be within his budget
U can call him see the Pro 82+ 625w review here http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2008/03/2...ax_pro_82_psu/1

i m using cooler master 500W for 24/7 days..

For me, invest in a good PSU sometimes save more money in long term running

I am deciding to get Cooler Master Elite 331 and Extreme Power 500W PSU for my case....any comments?

both are not true power leh.......if you got budget problem....better use normal PSU like powerlogic...... don't really have big different between CM and those normal PSU...only the brand name.....

If you want something good, go for ENERMAX or ANTEC.... this 2 brands are "good stuffs"

I saw Enermax FMA II 460W selling for RM199 only at All IT.
Is this power supply good enough for my system?
Enermax put a sticker there, "100% true power guaranteed!"

From what I know the Enermax PSU is guarantee for its True Power dude
