Yes it will unless you have a shedload of extra HDD's stuffed into it.

Yes if you looking to build a basic enough pc and not a monster with lots of modifications... like for example cpu under p4 3.2,hd,dvdrw,1gig ram,mobo and a couple fans and leds it should handle...

Make sure that you buy the AGP version of the card because i assume you don't have a PCI express motherboard. If its a quality PSU like enermax, antec, tagan, then you should be fine.

wow that one's really better! where have you been all this time mp3guy, couldn't you have posted it earlier? lol

Thanks!

btw, I just checked now, one says HDD uses 25 Watts(mp3guy), the other 35, now, which one should I trust?

I think 25 watts is closer to the mark, any calculator ive ever seen says 25.

I searched around a bit, and found out that, SCSI uses 35w, ide/sata 25
