Which PSU do I need?

[agrean]

I am putting together a new computer...
-duo 6400
-2 Gigs corsair memory
-Western Digital Caviar SE WD2500JS 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s
- ASUS P5B Deluxe Socket T (LGA 775) Intel P965 Express ATX
-Most likely a Geforce 8800 in the near future

What kind of PSU will I need for this setup? Thanks

It depends on which 8800 your talking about, and what your budget is, but the OCZ GamerXStream is a good choice, get the 600w version if your getting the 8800gts and the 700w version if your getting the 8800gtx. If you have a enough cash i would get an 850w Enermax Galaxy psu, strong as hell and more then enough to power two 8800gtx's in sli.

A couple of observations. 1) I have read in many other forums that that calculator overstates the actual power required. Do a forums google and find out for yourself. 2) I find it amazing that you came up with 750W for that system - and such bold type :roll:
