New

OK, I'll post the specs. New build with quality parts as of this spring. I got a fairly discounted 500W CoolerMaster PSU which I thought would be more than adequate (only have one mid-low-grade Nvidia GT 240 GPU), and I did an online calc that said with some periphs plugged in I should use about 200W, so recommended at least 260W PSU (approx).
Also, I had everything unplugged for a while and was having problems, but that was probably my failed RAM that then seems likely to have corrupted the filesystem?
The two drives connected are 1 each AC/powered older Iomega and Seagate drives, and a USB-poweered newer USB iomega e-something.
I'll post specs in a sec but from what I have said, does it sound like it still would be power? I was under the impression that 400W would likely be more than I need, and I'm at 500.
