Hi guys,

im just building my first desktop and im stuck at the PSU.
The specs of the computer are as followed:
Case: Antec 900
Mobo: Asus Rampage Formula
CPU: Q9450
RAM: 4gb either OCZ platin or Crossair dominator (TWIN2X4096-8500C5DF)
GPU: XFX9800GTX

Now, i have no idea how many Wats the power supply needs.
i think the GPU will have the highest requirements and on the packaging it says:
minimum630W and min current rating of 24A @ 12V
just in case of going sli (which i wont for a while) it says min 680W.

so now my main wuestion:

what PSU do u guys recommend for the antec case? the psu is mounted at the bottem.

cheers for ur help

Tim

im pretty sure a good quality 650 watt unit would do(corsair, antec, pc power and cooling) but if you want to have a bit more headroom go with what strangle recommended
 
Go with the one that was recommended by Strangelhold, it's a great PSU with all the power you will need for a great price!

I like modular PSU. I like adding only the cables I need and hate wrapping up all the ones I don't need.

This is the one I use and it has been great to me for about 6 months now
