Need help with my power supply

[ipoopfool]

I used a calculator to find my wattage, and I think it is lower than I though.
https://secure.newegg.com/WishList/MySavedWishDetail.aspx?ID=7552925 is my newegg wishlist

if you cant see it, here are some of my parts

how much power do you think I need, cause I calculated like 350, and I don't think that is enough. But then again, I am a total noob at this stuff.

also, no mobo right now, not that I think you need it.
Also, can you help me find the right powersupply for me on newegg? (I want it to also have things like voltage protections or whatever to keep damage away)

The more sophisticated psu calculators require additional data about motherboard, cpu, ram, and other components. You might want to consider a high quality psu in the 500 to 550 watt range.

Here's a link for the Thermaltake power supply calculator:

Fill in the blanks with information about your system. Let us know what kind of results you get.

maybr im missing something but it gave me almost 300

There you go! Hope you filled in as many blanks as possible including some info about a motherboard. There have been numerous posts here indicating that psu's can handle more than people think.

It's kind of difficult to make an educated guess sometimes as there are so many factors to consider. Sometimes it gets a little crazy with the hardcore gamers. The other problem is trying to take future expansion into consideration. It was just about three years ago that I bought a high quality psu. It was absolutely, positively, 100% more than I needed at the time. I have done two upgrades since then and I'm right in the middle of a third one. I'm still using the same psu. I'm hoping I'm good for another couple of years.

You picked a HD 4850 card. ATI recommends a PSU with at least 450W for a system with a single such card, and at least 550W for a system with two of them.

If you want some future-proofing, get a P5Q Pro or GA-EP45-DS3R (they will allow Crossfire) and this Corsair 650TX PSU ($75, free shipping)

hey, Im really bad a psus so can you find me a relatively good/cheap one.
Cuase the one I have right now is probably way overpriced, and I dunno what is good or not. On newegg if possible
