Im looking at the OCZ modstream PSU's. I cant decide if i need the 520W or if the 450W will be enough.

Here is what i will have in my rig:

Epox EP-9NPA+Ultra
AMD64 3700+
Evga 7800GT CO
WD Sata 80GB HD
NEC ND-3550A DVD
Audigy 2 ZS
Mitsumi FA404A 8 in 1 floppy
4 92mm case fans

I really have no idea how much power i need. I just know that the crappy PSU i have now isnt going to cut it and i dont want to buy something that is too big or too small for my needs.

The only other PSU i am considering is the Antec Smart Power 500W. I want a modular PSU since i dont have many components i really hate all the wires floating around my case. And i really dont want to spend much over about $80 if i dont have to.

Thanks for any input guys.
 
Hmm, those "calculators" aren't very precise IMHO... The wattages they predict are usually waaay too high... You'll be fine with the 450W version, but the Antec is a better option IMO...

EDIT: Consider this Enermax Liberty as well... May have less output, but sports dual 12V rails, "SLI compatibility", and a very high efficiency...
