Hello,
I am not a very experienced builder, and I haven't done it quite sometime. My old system died on me and I decided to spoil myself a bit and upgrade.
The one thing I overlooked was the power supply and I am very lost. I went to a component sales store and the tech was trying to tell me I need over 1000W just based on my video cards. I'm pretty sure I saw a system builder marathon with similar components built with a 750W power supply.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
