Building a computer and was wondering how many Watts i need to power it? I know practically nothing about computers, just designed this one due to available funds/ what Ive read about on the internet.
Plan on using:
AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE processor
ASUS M4A79T Deluxe motherboard
ATI Radeon 5770 1024mb video card (Want to purchase a 2nd one of these eventually)
Seagate Barracuda 300GB 7200 harddrive
Zalman CNPS9500 heatsink
Sony DVD R/RW
(undecided on the DDR3 RAM-suggestions for the current set up would be appreciated)
The problems i have run into while trying to figure out how many watts are needed is that different sites state different numbers for the power requirements of the processor and other pieces. So if you can help me out with my dilemma i would be very appreciative.
