I'm still a giant noob when it comes to computers, and I can't figure out how many watts or what PSU I need. Here's my homemade rig:
-2 x 250GB Barracuda's 7200RPM in RAID 0
-1 x Radeon HD 4850 1 GB GDDR3
-1 x E8400 OC'd @ 4.2GHz
-2 x 10" cathodes
-2 x 120mm fans, 1 x 80mm fan
-Rosewill 550w PSU

-DFI Lanparty P35 ATX mobo
(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6813136043)
-2 x 2 x 2GB (8GB total) OCZ Reaper HPC Edition DDR2 SDRAM @ 800MHz
(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6820227267)
-1 x DVD Drive
-1 x DVD Burner
-1 x Floppy drive
...and the G5 mouse, Saitek Eclipse II keyboard, Thermaltake Flare Pad, and USB Monkey (I don't even know if these consume much power, I'm just adding them in anyway).
So if anyone could help me, please do! Recommend what power supply I need, or tell me if this one is good enough. Sorry for posting another "how many watts?!" thread 
.
