A 420 should be able to adequately power your existing system unless it's defective somehow. If the problem is that it's becoming choppy which goes away when you unplug the CD drive, consider that the problem might, in fact, be your CD drive. If your CD drive is doing something which causes it to hang your system briefly anytime is it prodded, this would cause your choppiness, and disconnecting it is why the problem stops. Based on this description, I have no reason to believe the power supply is at fault here: Inadequate power supplies don't cause the system to slow down, they just cause it to spontaneously die.


I don't use CDs for my games so the damn drive is usually disabled either in system or literally.
