Power Supply Wattage Calculator

[Jim]

Need help gauging what wattage PSU you need in your system? Check out this calculator to give you a rough estimage.

Also remember that not all power supplies are created equal, so in general try to stick to the following brands:

Antec

Enermax

OCZ

PC Power & Cooling

Tagan

EDIT By Kempez

This calculator is more up-to-date and pretty useful (if a little over-zealous mebbe)

Its hard to tell really. But what i will say, is that it is only calculating for a standard system, not an overclocked or modified one.

Take for example my system - i'm currently using a really cheap psu until i can get a better one. It only gives out 282w, but yet its powering a 12v water pump, my prescott, a 6800GT and cathode lighting. It works fine as long as i dont overclock the system at all.

I haven't been able to use that link at all since I first saw it a couple of days ago. I wanna take a look-see cause I wanna see how much my PSU has on the rails!

How irritating!
