I plug my new build parts into every calculator I can find and they all are calculating around the 443-496w area -- Processor is FX4300 Vishera, Graphics is 7870, Motherboard is m5a99fx, 4 sticks ddr3, a solid state, and a 10,000rpm 2.5 drive and a combo drive, and wireless nic. nothing fancy with the fans, two exhaust at the top/back, two intake front/side, one fan on cpu.
I would go with the 4XXw psu and get a 550 or so, but the specs on the graphics card alone says it requires a minimum of 500w psu. With the graphics card suggesting 500w, the cpu being a 95w, why are the calculators under 500w? What am I missing? I assume I'm entering something wrong into the calculators.
