Need some help of the wattage i need for a psu on a new build im doing (first build I have ever done) and any recomendations or thought's for my build and psu's to get would be great.
Build will be mainly used for gaming (COD, BF3, Total War series, etc)
Will also be looking at water cooling in the future, maybe only a 360mm rad setup though.
Will also have alot of led fans too in the future when i have 2 gpu's (not sure how that will effect psu choice) I am thinking maybe, 9x120mm (6 on the front intake for a push/pull rad and 3 side panel intakes), 1x140mm rear exhaust and 2x230mm top exhausts.
