Hi can anyone help me figure out how many WATT power supply i need for this :


-Phenom II x4 940 3.0 ghz (will overclock to 3.6-3.8 ghz)
-MSI DKA790GX Platinum AM2+
-Radeon HD 4850 512MB
-Dominator ddr2 1066 (ps2 8500)
-NZXT LEXA Blackline Series Computer Case
-SAMSUNG 22X DVD Burner
-Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD3200AAKS 320GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive

Any suggestions would be nice thnx.
 
Since your MSI 790GX is crossfire capable (8x/8x) i'd probably go at least 550w just to keep that option available for the future without screwing with the PSU again for the upgrade. 2 good options for $70 after rebate are the PC Power and Cooling 610w or the Corsair 650TX (actually cheaper then their 550w)

another choice might be to go for this PC Power and Cooling 500w at $50 after rebate if crossfire isn't an option, but frankly i'd spend the extra $20
