Hi, my dell laptop from 2007 isn't cutting it anymore. The more I read about computer parts the more I realize I'm a noob. I would love some feed back on my build so far, and some help figuring out how many watts my psu will need.
--------------------
Approximate Purchase Date: During the next two weeks
Budget Range: Around, or below $1100 after rebates

Parts Not Required: monitor, mouse, keyboard, and speakers
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg was all I had in mind, any other suggestions would be appreciated
Country: U.S.
Parts Preferences: I'd like to stick with a gtx 500 series video card and an intel cpu beyond that any tips would be great.
Overclocking: probably not
SLI or Crossfire: nope

Here's what I'm thinking:

Parts added up so far is $945. I think, a psu will be around $100; add in some fans and that should put me right around my $1100 goal.
Could someone please help me determine how much wattage my psu is going to need? Also, if anyone has any feedback on my build so far I would love to hear it! Any help is much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
