a good quality 250w would cover it, but i dont understand why you would for an i7
what are you planning to do?
well,i'm trying to build a mini-ITX PC with a quad-core cpu. i want it as small as possible. i think a dc-atx PSU is much better in size than a standard size PSU. but i am not sure if it has enough power for a quad-core setup.
i sum up the TDP of cpu and chipset and memory and hdd, the number is not greater than 120w,so why 250w?
