Need Help Calculating PSU Needs
Building my first computer here :) 

I need help deciding my power needs for my build. I've tried the eXtreme and Newegg PSU calculators and got very different results. If anyone can help me accurately determine my power needs, that would be a relief!

My build
AMD Athlon x4 760k (Processor)
EVGA GeForce GTX 580 (Graphics Card)
Sandisk 128gb SSD (Storage, SSD)
2x2 DDR3 4gb (RAM)

If anymore information is needed, please ask me. :)

Just look at your GFX card (s), nothing else matters, unless you are building a server, water cooling w/ multiple pumps or other very rare efforts.
