Hi everyone,
I'm building a system using the Chenbro ES34069 case, which I've bought. The power supply it came with is the 120W external model. I want to use a Phenom 9350e in the system (I know it's overkill, but for the extra $100 vs. a 4850e it gives the machine more legs in the future... thinking long term), along with a Jetway NC81 motherboard, a slimline Blu-ray optical drive and four drives (probably 1.5TB Segates once this latest firmware revision is solid, otherwise the 2TB WD's.
My question is, will 120W run all this? Even if I forego the 9350e and step down to a 4850e, that's a 20W savings, but is it necessary?
I already have the case and the optical drives, just looking for thoughts on the motherboard and CPU prior to purchase to make sure it'll all work.
Thanks.
