Probably around 500 Watts, I would get a 620 Watt SeaSonic PSU, As the extra 100 watts will allow for some extra headroom.

Just a word of advice, Corsair PSUs have bad capacitors and they're overall not well made.

I have a thermaltake 550W tougtpower
I found a 750W PSU at a good price, but not from any big manufacturer like SeaSonic or Corsair..
What do you suggest, stick on the 550W or take the 750W ?

My PSU is the Thermaltake Toughpower 550W ATX 12V 2.0 (P/N: W0096)
I don't know if it has a 30 amps + 12v rail.
Can you please check it and tell me if its ok?
Or should I go for a bigger one?
