Here are the components for my new PC with wattage requirements:
MB: Asus P5Q-E
---WATTS: 500-600w recommended per documentation if using 2 pcie cards
CPU: Intel Q9550
---WATTS: 95w at max
GPU: 2 x Sapphire ATI 3650's (I use 3 monitors for trading)
---WATTS: 550w or higher recommended per ATI docs for 2 cards
---Separate power connector not required for these cards
Mem: 2x2gb Corsair XMS2 DHX DDR2 800 (the ones w/ the large heatsinks on them)
---WATTS: Unknown, i'm guessing 5-10w max each, but I have no clue really
Hd: 2 x WD640gb
---WATTS: 10w at peak each, total of 20w
Fans: Probably 1 120mm intake + 1 120mm exhaust + CPU fan (not counting psu fan + ati fans)
---WATTS: Probably around 3-5w each, so around 15w total
Case: TBD (after picking all components, will pick case to fit them all)
Usage:
-No overclocking
-No gaming
-Mostly trading (for a living) across 3 monitors + home video editing + basic web/email/etc.
Question:
-So should I go with a 650w supply? 750 to be safe? Any brand recommendations?
Tnx!
