your motherboard is one which requires quite some power. not to mention your graphics card. you should opt for something over 450W. consider VIP 500W PSU which comes for around 2.4k

u don't need to upgrade PSU for ur 8600GT...however if u want to OC (CPU or GPU)...then it's a different story...u can go for better PSUs to be futureproof anyway

When the LCD Monitor (DVI Connection)is switch on,the brightness of the LED fans in the Cabby goes down.
Also the voltage ratings of the PSU are:
+3.3V -3.22v
+5V -3.74v
+12V -13.49v
CPU Voltage -1.23v(voltage ratings from PC wizard 2008)
1)What is the reason for the LED fans Brightness goes down?
2)Are the Voltage ratings normal?
3)Is there any problem in my Antec SP400w?
