How much power is necessary for my PSU

[flooosh]

the calculator said Your Recommended Minimum Power Supply is 900 Watts but to make sure to get more then the recommended to make sure its stable so how much over 900 should i get 1000? i had previously selected a 1100 watt power supply before i used the calculator.

also anyone want to recommend a monitor? maybe a 27" or a "24"

I think a better alternative is to post all ur system so all the ppl here can evaluate this info.

Unless you plan on adding another 570 a quality 650W would be fine.
With a 2nd gpu you would need a 850+W psu.

 

[flooosh]

even though the wattage calculator recomended 900 watt?

 

[davcon]

Calculators aren't the most accurate and if it's a makers they always up-sell.
My info is gathered from Guru3D and a power hungry 1366 test system used for their benchmark.

550 would cover this build, with masses to spare.

 

[flooosh]

think i should get

LEPA G900-MA 900W SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply

 

[davcon]

Unless you plan on adding another 570 a quality 650-750W is all you'll ever need.

can somebody tell me exactly why everyone is adding 14 at the end of every post? 14 or should i say the database?
