I'm in the middle of building a new computer, and while looking for PSU's I came across this calculator. With the spec of the PC I'm building:
GIGABYTE Intel P45 ATX Mobo
Intel Q9550 Yorkfield
EVGA GTX 260
2 Sticks DDR2 (For the sake of the calculator)
1x SATA HDD (For the sake of the calculator)
1x DVD/CDRW Drive (For the sake of the calculator)
1x Additional PCI Card (For the sake of the calculator)
1x Cold Cathode
3x 120mm LED Fans
1x 120mm Regular Fan
1x 250mm Regular Fan
And it recommended only a 350W PSU... Is that right? Will all those components really only require a minimum of 350 watts with no OC and 90% System Load? That doesn't sound right to me, because otherwise what would be the point of PSU's above, say, 500W besides being used in a server? If this is accurate, it will save me an assload of money, and I can use the brand new PSU I've already got (a 450W).
