I was thinking of buying a 850W PSU but seems like I will only need 400W :lol:.
I would double whatever they tell you. Not only for efficiency, but if you dont have a top of the line PSU then running it near capacity will end up blowing it up.Quote:

This calculator is amazing, helped me pick a psu with the right number of wattages !! =D thank you so much
Cool tool
It rhymes
Wow this is the same psu calculator that I used last year to decide if my 650W psu could handle two gpus. I found it to be very helpful and I seen that I had a lot of room to work with.
I couldn't find a GTX 470, GTX 480, i7 930, or i7 980X on their list, I guess they haven't updated it with the most recent stuff yet.
curent update is March 9, 2011 The following changes were made:
CPUs
- added Intel Core i7-2600 Sandy Bridge
- added Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge
- added Intel Core i7-2600S Sandy Bridge
- added Intel Core i5-2390T Sandy Bridge
- added Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge
- added Intel Core i3-2100 Sandy Bridge
- added Intel Core i3-2120 Sandy Bridge
- added Intel Core i3-2100T Sandy Bridge
so it seems they are keeping up.
has anyone bought the paid version?
i'm curious too...the only psu calculator was it on an online page....it adviced me to buy a bigger psu....but i'm still going well with my old enermax 485w! lol
