Here is the system I'm planning to build:
abit P35 Pro
Q6600
ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro
XFX 8600GT
4x2GB G.Skill memory
4x Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1TB (or x5 Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 750GB)
2x Seagate Cheetah 15K.5 147GB
Adaptec RAID 3805
Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Fatality
Samsung SH-S203N
Blu-Ray drive in the future
56K modem
a few USB devices
When I put all this into the eXtreme Power Supply Calculator, I end up with 700-725 w (100% TDP, 100% System Load, 20% Capacitor Aging) I was planning to get Silencer 750, but it seems like I'll be on the edge. Should I get a 1000w PSU just to be on the safe side and to have some more room for additional hardware? If yes, which PSU would you recommend? If 750w is enough, is Silencer a good choice?
