I plan to build a new system. What wattage power supply will I need for:
?1) P45 or X48 Asus motherboard
?2) E8400 (will probably overclock to 3.6 to 3.8 range)
?3) 4 GB of DDR2 800 (2 X 2GB)
?4) 3 hard drives (two WD SE16 640s and one 250 GB for saving files)
?5) DVD burner
?6) two ATI 4870 (one at first but will crossfire later when I get a bigger monitor)
?7) 6 to 8 12cm fans.
I do not mind paying for a good PSU with more wattage than I need so I can have future upgrade ability and headroom so system runs great.
What wattage is recommended for the above components (also if you give a recommendation please not if it is minimum or good +buffer range)?
Thanks for any help.
