What should I be looking for in a power supply for this planned build :

- ANTEC 900
- Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550
- ATI HD4870
- ASUS P5E Deluxe X48
- 2x2GB DDR2 X2 (8GB

Seems to be more complicated than I had expected... :heink:

Easier than you think!

ATI Radeon HD 4870 System Requirements

500 Watt or greater power supply with two 75W 6-pin PCI Express® power connectors recommended (600 Watt and four 6-pin connectors for ATI CrossFireX™ technology in dual mode)
Certified power supplies are recommended. Refer to http://ati.amd.com/certifiedPSU for a list of Certified products.

Corsair 450w or modular 520w would be a goer
