Best Answer

CPU: Intel i3-4130

GPU: EVGA GTX650

RAM: Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB @1866MHz

HDD0: Kingston 120GB SSD

HDD1: WD Blue 500GB

and a PCI-E Wireless card

I have all the above installed, and the PSU *seems* to be working fine, but I'm wondering if this is an OK setup. A friend of mine said that stressing out the PSU is a bad idea, and that I might be pushing it with 400W.

Yes, it would be a good idea to upgrade your power supply. The 600w mark is a standard for performance machines. While 400w will effectively power a basic home computer, it's a good idea to go ahead and upgrade the power supply when you upgrade core components.

How many watts does a projector light bulb work?

The bulb takes anywhere between 200w and 400w depending on the size and lumins of the projector. Then there's the electronics and fan. Alltogether a power supply of 220v and 2.5A will be sufficient (500W). However, friends of mine with a 600 VA UPS (Uninteruptable Power Supply) couldn't run their's on it as it may require faster switching then the ups provides.


How many watts does a speaker consume?

An audio speaker is usually powered only by the audio signal that comes via the leads from an audio amplifier. The average power in an audio signal is usually about 1% of the peak power, and even with loud music the average power is only ¼ watt or less. But the amplifier must be designed to supply the peak audio power and amplifiers are usually rated at 25-50 watts.
