Answer 1

Should be good enough, but perhaps a little close to the limits of the PSU for comfort. Replace it with something a little bigger, perhaps a 450W unit as a minimum, 550W is probably a bit overkill and anything bigger is just wasting your money for something fancy that you will never use to its full potential.

Answer 2

Honestly, your ok with a 350, the only extra that your using is the video card and the 2nd case fan. Your speakers are powered aren't they? Ideally if I were rebuilding this same computer or bumping it up a notch or two I'd upgrade to a 480 watt power supply. I threw away a 6 month old Mag 800 monitor years ago because I thought it had went belly up and come to find out it was my power supply. Was weird how I found out it was the power supply after I'd threw the monitor in a hammer throw fashion at the county refuse, lol Hate it when things like that happen. Doing some extra research on rebuilds I came up with a scale for power supply wattage and I have also seen some on the web! Hope it helped.

Answer 3

seek all aspects upload up the max wattage use or see what sort of potential grant the require. imo the 750 could be a lot. or perhaps once you're applying a 1100 potential grant and your aspects maxed out dissipate 700watt you're able to under no circumstances max out the 1100wat potential grant and it may be as valuable as a 750 grant

Answer 4

yup...you just make it the 8400 video card pretty much determines what PSU you need

Answer 5

Yes, its more than enough:)
