it will work...but it depends on what else you got in your computer

 

[jay8990]

well what else would eat up a lot of power?

vid card, harddrives, cd drives, motherboard

 

[jay8990]

one vid card, one sata drive, 2 dvd drives (one a rw) and mobo is guna be a msi k8n neo2.

other things would be a floppy, few fans, not much else dah think

360 would be fine..what brand is it?? give a model number?
btw what video card?

Just get at least say 400 so you cover future and present power requirments.

vid card would be something like ati radeon 9550?

if your going to get a power supply make sure it is TUV approved if not its crap
