Hi, I only just wanna ask about how much wattage of PSU power do I need for this spec:
Motherboard: ASUS P7P55D-E PRO (mainstream motherboard)
CPU: Intel Core i7 860 (high-end mainstream CPU)
CPU Cooler: Thermalright Venomous X
RAM Memory: 4GB DDR3 Ram
Hard disk: Seagate SATA III HDD
PC Case: Thermaltake Armor + (with 6 fans)
Single Video Card: ATI Radeon HD 5870 (or possibly Radeon HD 5890 in the future)
Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatality Pro
Speakers: Creative Gigaworks 550W
number of USB devices: about 3 or 4
I am currently interested with Enermax brand PSUs with 80+ Gold Energy Efficient Certified.
I was looking at something like Enermax Modu 87+ (500W/600W/800W)...
Many PSU Calculators said that I need about 350 Watts of PSU Power to get this system spec running but how much I can trust these PSU Calculators??? Are these PSU Calculators' results accurate or at least close to the correct results?
I used Enermax PSU Calculator Outervision and it said something like about 347W of power to run this spec I posted.
Should I go with a 500W PSU? Or should I go with something like 800W PSU or more?
PS: I might do Crossfire or SLI in the future so I think that it is better for me to get a PSU with a little bit more of extra Wattage of Power to be more sure/safer.
