PC making strange noise.

Does that include a 20-25% allowance?

Mine came up as 363 watts which is very low for what I've got. If I multiply it by 1.25 though it comes out at 450W which is roughly about right.

You ideally want your psu running at roughly 60-80% load. I've currently got a 530W psu, but have removed stuff since, so it's a little overkill at the moment. Still it runs nice and cool as it doesn't need to be pushed that much.

I think a 420W - 480W psu would suite you at a guess.

According to the calculator I need 360. So I'll get a 500w one. Because I'm planning to add stuff later. And I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Thanks for the replies. It's greatly appreciated.

Okay, I've looked around and have no idea what PSU to choose. Can anyone recommend a decent one? Baring in mind I only have around £30 to spare, and I would like one with at least 500w.

Any suggestions?

Just go for the cheapest..

e.g. ebuyer.com 12.92, 5 star reviews, if it goes pop, you have plenty of money to spare to get another one.
