Hello, seeking some advice here.
I currently have a Sempron 145 running 7 drives that are a mix of green, red and black. My current power supply is an Antec High Current Gamer 400 watt with the following specs
+3.3V@20A, +5V@20A, +12V@30A,

It works great right now but I am going to upgrade so I can start running a Plex server to transcode video. I have been given a Sabertooth X58 with an i7 920 processor (130 watt) for the task but not installed it yet.
Do you think I should upgrade the PS to handle the increased power draw from the proc and if so what would you recommend? As of right now I don’t have plans to increase the array but it would be nice to be able to bump it up to 8 drives if necessary.
THANKS!
