Solve : Need new power supply??

Answer»

Hi Guys and Gals, I am putting together a new MOBO and cpu in my old Gateway GM-6588E case and am going to put a ASUS M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3 mobo in it using all 16 GB of ram and a Phenom II X 4 955 in it with a new cooling system.  Do I need to update the power supply to at least 500 watts?  Do the cables come with it or can I use the ones off the old power supply.  I plan on trying overclocking and know it takes more wattage, so what kind of power supply under $50 can I get for an AMD BUILD?  I have 4 HD working on the one I have now that is 300 watts and IDE connection with 4 pin power on one HD.  Can I keep all my drives and wiring harnes?  Just want to make sure when I upgrade I do not have cable issues.
Have you researched PSUs

For example

It tells you what cables come with it! In the USA and many areas a 700 watt supply goes for about $65 and is a good INVESTMENT
It will give you peace of mind.http://educations.newegg.com/tool/psucalc/index.html
