Sorry for the double post, but modular PSU's can be a bit of a nightmair, so I'd suggest you find a nonmodular one and just do some cable management once it's all built. Cheers, Ben. On 12/3/12, Ben Mustill-Rose <ben@benmr.com> wrote:
Hi,
Theres probably a more scientific way of working it out, but I'd probably nudge it up to a 650W. You don't need to worry about sli or crossfire unless you're going to be gaming. As in sighted people type gaming. When you get to ordering post the links to the components here or to me and I'll / one of us will let you know if it's all going to work together.
Cheers, Ben.

Hello,
This one is for PC builders. I've been gathering parts mostly in the last month for a new PC. Currently I have a Gigabyte 970 USB 3 motherboard, 32 GB of ddr3 1866 ram, and an 8 core processor that part alone I know takes 125W of power.
Ok, the power supply will need to be an ATX12V supply I've found two on newegg I like one for 500W the other for 530W both around the same price. My problem is determining my current power usage needs, currently I'm guessing, and future needs. This box will eventually have all six SATA3 ports used, one CD/DVD burner, one SSD drive, and four 7200 RPM SATA3 drives 1 TB or greater.
Opinions on power? Also, SLI and Crossfire ready do I need to worry about those?
Thanks. Dave.
