I am a first time builder and some insight to my issue would be greatly appreciated.
When using different psu calculators online they all give me different results i have had some tell me my rig will use 450W (low) some say 650W-750W and the PSU calculator that the MB manufacturer provides says a minimum of 950W are needed.
Here is my new rig:
ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z AM3+
XFX Double D FX-787A-CDBC Radeon HD 7870 GHz. x2
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3
Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB 7200 RPM
AMD FX-8350 Vishera 4.0GHz (4.2GHz Turbo)
4x 200mm fans
2x 140mm fans
dvd/rw
I initially purchased a 850W Psu thinking that would be enough, but again the MB manufacturer recomends at least 950W.
What do you all think ?
Thanks
