ow ye, definitely must be something wrong with my math :D (and that's power draw at the wall socket)

130W theoretical max for the gpu, 125W theoretical max for the cpu, another 50-100 for the rest and it gets too close for my taste to the limit.

if anything is overclocked (like... the gpu since it's factory oc, i will add 10-25% by default)

edit. yes, i know the test system in the review should draw more but even with 50W removed from the 400w power draw for the socket is still too much for my taste on a 430W psu.
