    This is probably a VERY basic question but I would like to know. If I put a larger power supply in my computer (say go from 300W to 400W), would it improve the performance of my computer?

    Here's a link for a PSU calculator. http://www.jscustompcs.com/power_supply/ It will make a difference only if your PSU is too small for your system's requirements (or a low-quality PSU-some output much less power than rated as they get hotter). It won't harm anything if you do upgrade, though. JUst make sure it is compatible with your computer's mobo and will fit in your case.
