    If you go with a GTX295, you’ll need about 700watts. However, if you’re a normal person and decide to go with a GTX275 or less (or HD4890 or less) then about 600watts should do it. Use this calculator to determine what you’ll need with your setup (add about 10% to the totals to be safe):

    Hope this helps, good luck!

    500 to 600w

    Not knowing what you want to use for the video card is the key here. Of all the parts listed none come close to the current draw of a hi-end video card. Never scrimp on a power supply. It will only draw what the hardware needs. If it were me, I’d opt for 750 watts on a new build at least. A bigger power supply will not labor as hard and it will last along time.
