Should say on it, open the tower up and check the label on the PSU. It's usually on the label that has the manufacturer's name on it.  Wink

It should state something like "850w". That's the figure you're looking for.  happy

Personally I'd upgrade to an 850w PSU as soon as possible, you'll be lucky if your components are running at 80% with a 250w.  confused
