[planet-earth]

I asked before about how many watt i need for my new uocoming pc and someone said 600 watt and another refered me to a site to calcolate it but i'm not good at computer things and it was complicate ...so can someone tell me approximatly how many watt i nedd for this pc even if put a little bit higher it is ok:

1- AVGA Superclocked gtx 480
2- Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H50 CPU Cooler
3- Intel Core i7 950 3.06GHz
4- corsair CMD12GX3M6A1600C8 Dominator 12 GB ram
5- Motherboard P6X58D Premium X58 LGA1366 MAX-24GB Atx 3PCIE16 Pcie Pci

Try this website. The GTX 480 isn't listed yet, but you can just calculate all your other components (including fans, card readers, whatever) and add a solid 250-275W on top of that to be safe. Personally, I think something in the 650-800W range would be OK.

It can't tell you, because you'd need a nuclear reactor or two to power one of those things up, which is easily over 9000W.
Jokes aside, nVidia recommends a 600W minimum power supply for a system with a GTX 480 in it. Normally, ATi/nVidia overestimate how much power you need for a system, but this time, I don't think that 600W is too much of an overestimation, so go for a 600W to 700W PSU, Corsair or SeaSonic preferably - for a GPU like this, I'd definitely get a high quality power supply.

Just a small recommendation, but why get the Intel Core™ i7 950 3.06GHz, if you could get the i7 960 3.2GHz for the exact same price, or, why not get a i7 930 and overclock it to those speeds? I'm just assuming you haven't bought these parts yet, so you really should get either the i7 930 or i7 960.

OOOOOh man I never now about i7 960 ...I already bought the i7 950...
I'm very sad now ... is it toomuch different in performance (please say no )....

Oh, don't worry much at all, it's actually quite a small difference - just 133MHz. (0.133 GHz)
I was just thinking why you got the i7 950 when the i7 960 is the same price, well, like $15 more, lol.

I wonder why you brought 12 gigs of ram?

 

[planet-earth]

I don't know ...I guess because i thought it is better for the future in case i upgrade....isn't it.... do i need all this ram now???

This is the first SLI-ready solution for GTX 480:

System overload!

You should Err on the side of caution and go with a 700 or 800W PSU. Remember, no PSU is 100% efficient.
