My PSU died. It was 700 W but I am wondering if I was overdoing it a bit...
Would be grateful for advice!

(sorry can't check the exact spec right now. Hope a ballpark figure is sufficient...)

i5 processor, "average" a bit overclocked.
Nice Asus motherboard.
2 graphics cards NVIDIA, very average, nothing special, but both have a fan.
Basic water cooler for the CPU. Has one fan, for blowing out air.
One other fan in the case.
2 laptop hard drives
6 hard drives
2 cards in the PSI slots

since you have two Unknown video cards, it would be best you provide this information. In order to effectively provide you with an accurate answer.

Hmm, if I were to guess a 850w would be more than sufficient. But without exact specs it is going to be difficult.

That isn't enough information. Enter your build into this website and it will show you how much power is required.

If nothing else, check your devise manager for your graphics cards.
