Hi, I'm new to PC building and I'm working out my PSU wattage using online calculators but I'm getting very different results from them. I'm looking for A. a link to an accurate psu wattage calculator, or B. someone who can tell me which wattage and psu to purchase. If you need any additional information, feel free to ask. My specs are:


CPU: AMD FX-6300 ( http://shop.amd.com/us/All/Detail/Processor/FD6300WMHKBOX )

Motherboard: Asus M5A97 R2.0 ( http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M5A97_R20/ )

Graphics: EVGA Geforce GTX 760 Overclocked (http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=02G-P4-2765-KR )

RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB Kit (4gb x 2) ( http:// )

Storage: Western Digital Blue 1TB 7200 RPM 3.5" ( http://www.wdc.com/global/products/specs/?driveID=1092&language=1 )

AND

A re-purposed 250 GB 7200 RPM 3.5" HDD

Optical: A re-purposed DVD-RW drive


Thanks in advance for the help! :D

Is there a modular version of this that I can buy? If not, I can just stuff the extra cables in the drive bays. Thanks for the suggestion!! I appreciate it.

Hmm corsair has a 750 watt modular ( http:// ) for the same price as the XFX 650 watt. The corsair has a 4.5 star rating, but I was very impressed with the XFX's 5 star. Which would you recommend out of these two? Sorry for all the questions.
