Hello, I'm new to Computer Forum and have a question..

I'm currently building a new gaming computer and don't have much knowledge about power supplies...

My current setup is..

Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133062--Thermaltake Armor+MX VH8000BWS Black Aluminum / Steel ATX Mid Tower

Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131291--ASUS M3A32-MVP Deluxe AM2+/AM2 AMD 790FX ATX AMD

Graphic Cards: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814129112--VisionTek 900241 Radeon HD 4850 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported (I'm using 2 of these in crossfire)

Processor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103249--AMD Phenom 9850 BLACK EDITION 2.5GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 2MB L3 Cache Socket AM2+ 125W Quad-Core

Memory: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231166--G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) (2 Sets of these)

Hard Drives: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136150--Western Digital Caviar GP WD7500AACS 750GB 5400 to 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s

Sound Card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829102006--Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer 7.1 Channels 24-bit 96KHz PCI Interface

Water Cooling: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835108076--Swiftech H20-220-APEX-GT CPU

Fan: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835186134--ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro 92mm CPU Cooler

And Some Razer Keyboards, Mics, and mouses..

What I'm looking for is an idea of what I need in a power supply to run my current setup and some future upgrades...I'm also going to overclock the Processor, ram, video cards...

As I said before, I don't have much knowledge of power supplies so im not knowing of how many 12v rails I need or even the watts..

I would also like some suggestions and opinions on the setup
(Helps me learn and eventually create a good setup)

Nope..If the person your thinking of had the same name as me then I'm assuming he stole it off of me..Considering I used this name for everything for the past 8 years...

Use a P/S with 20% more than you need

:DAlways use a power supply that has about 20% more that you need, more is better. That way you are not Maxied out on your P/S. and putting it under stress
