Power Supply calculator

I found a web page that looks like it does a fairly complete job of calculating your power supply needs that%26#39;s worth checking out - http://www.extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine.I got there through Antec%26#39;s web site in case you can%26#39;t access the page directly. Power Supply calculator
yep i had that bookmarked when i first ran into it... it really is great, and can pretty much prove that even the most hungriest of setups don%26#39;t need those rediculous 1000watter psus.....Power Supply calculator
most people will be suprised when they calculate their power, most people go out and get 600 and 700 watt psu%26#39;s and ive even seen people buy 1000watts psu%26#39;s bc they claim they plan on upgrading to sli one day. haha. most people use about 300 watts of power at any given time, and those with the newest cards and processors out probably use closer to 400, and those with sli around 450. like i said, most people will be suprised. my rig uses 319
i was paranoid with 450 watt ps with all the threads on this forum. that calculator suggested 380, so I think I'm ok :)
