If your going to build new. update or have problems (like DramaLLama) check this site. Choose your set-up parts from drop downs and viola! suggested power supply! Multiple cpu, multiple video card, multiple cd/dvd drives..........very comprehensive listing. P.S. Glad I opted for an 850 watt!

That being said, because aging components aren't producing as much power, a PSU with some EXTRA wattage is always a good thing... A 850 Watts is the way to go for most rigs with a single GFX card or SLI medium to high-end cards. If you want to SLI BEASTS like GTX580s, then a 1000 watts is better... Awards
