"Hi! My name is Stephanie and I’m here on behalf of expertvillage.com. Please visit our web site at www.clickincomputer.com. The most important and the most replaced part of the computer is the power supply… This is the part on that a lot of people want to cut costs on, but this is the part that supplies power to your entire computer. Generally, you are going to want at least a 400 Watt power supply to power all of the components in the computer, but bigger is by far better than smaller in this case, also you need to check compatibility of the power supply. If you have a serial ATA drive, usually it will accept both Molex and SATA connections. The Molex being the standard four-pin plug. Your motherboard will come with either a 20 or 24-pin plug. So it is best to get one with a 24-pin connector. Pentium IV also requires a four-pin 12 V plug for extra power."
