What whatt do I need?

[burning-ape]

I'm building a new PC, and am confused about what PSU I'll need.

 

The components are:

 

Corsair 4GB Kit (2x2GB) DDR2 800MHz/PC2-6400 XMS2 Memory Non-ECC Unbuffered CL5(5-5-5-18) Heat Spreader Lifetime Warranty

 

PowerColor HD 4870 1GB GDDR5 Dual DVI HDTV Out PCI-E Graphics Card

 

Samsung HD502IJ SpinPoint F1 500GB Hard Drive SATAII 7200rpm 16MB Cache - OEM

 

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Socket 775 (3.0GHz) 1333FSB 6MB L2 Cache Retail Boxed Processor

 

LG W2242S 22" TFT Monitor 1680x1050 8000:1 300cd/m2 5ms VGA Black 3 Years Onsite Warranty

 

ASUS P5KC AiLifestyle Series iP35 Socket 775 8 channel audio ATX Motherboard

 

Arctic Cooling AC-FRZ-7P Freezer 7 Pro Socket 775 Processor Cooler

 

 

 

I've also got an Antec 900 case, and a keyboard+mouse bundle.

 

What PSU wattage will I need?

I would go for a minimum of 500Watt - Corsair or OCZ :D

Okay, cool, thanks.

No problem -

If you want a more accurate figure - then list everything that you are planning to have in the Case - including fans and what peripherals and optical drives you are using and I will do it for you.

The GPU at load runs just short of 300 Watts on its own :eek:

So go for 600 Watt and you will be fine :)
