I am replacing my power supply now to a quieter one, and am looking to upgrade to an i7 920 in the future. My pc specs are currently an e8200@3.4ghz, 4gb corsair 800mhz ram, asus P5N-D, SLi 9600gt and a dvd dual layer rw drive.
When upgrading to an i7 I was planning to overclock it using an aftermarket cooler. I was looking at power supplies in the 600-750W range, particularly the coolermaster silent pro. But when checking a power supply calculator it comes up with the required power at 420W!That can't be right can it, and if so would I be better off buying a lower rated powers supply such as the 500W from the coolermaster silent pro series?
