Default Will a 150W PSU Be OK for Pentium E5200 & Intel DG41MJ?

Hi All,

I am trying to build a PC with Pentium E5200 & Intel DG41MJ. My system will consist of the following components:
Motherboard:Intel DG41MJ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813121381
CPU:Intel Pentium E5200 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819116072
Memory: CORSAIR TWIN2X4096-6400C5C 4GB PC2-6400 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...2X4096-6400C5C
Computer case & PSU: RC-CIX-01 BK Glossy Black Steel Mini-ITX Cube Computer Case, 150W Power Supply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811147133
HDD: Samsung EcoGreen 500GB
DVD: Pioneer DVD Burner

There will be no other cards/components.

So will the above components run with a 150w PSU?

Thanks

Depends on the PSU. It's definitely cutting it close but I think it should be OK if you're trying for a low-power system.

Ok I would reccomend keeping extra lighting and extra case fans to None... if possible, You have not got a graphics card included so that will save power usuage I would say that you are calling it close but it should work fine.

That is going to be very close

I dont know if this is really any good this PSU Calculator, but try it out and see if your hardware requires more than 150w

Failing that you could pick up a really good 250w PSU for the price of a takeaway
