Need help with Power Supply

Phoenix22Phoenix22 Member Posts: 81

First off I do not want to pretend I know alot about building computers.......I don't. I'm having my new computer built and have almost everything worked out except the power supply.

 

here is the basic makeup of my computer to be.-

-CPU: AMD Phenom™II X4 965 Black Edition Quad-Core CPU w/ HyperTransport Technology

-COOLING FAN : Ultra ChillTec Thermo Electric CPU Cooler (Venom Boost Extreme OC Certified)

-MOTHERBOARD: Asus Crosshair III Formula AM3 DDR3 790FX CrossFire Chipset with Quad PCIE slot SATA RAID MBw/GbLAN, USB2.0, IEEE1394, &7.1Audio

-MEMORY: 4GB (2GBx2) DDR3/1800MHz Dual Channel Memory Module (Corsair Dominator (All Venom OC Levels Certified))

-VIDEO CARD: ATI Radeon HD 4890 1GB DDR5 PCI-Express Dual DVI-I & TVO (PowerColor Powered by ATI)

-VIDEO CARD 2: ATI Radeon HD 4890 1GB DDR5 PCI-Express Dual DVI-I & TVO (PowerColor Powered by ATI)

-HARD DRIVE: Single Hard Drive (150GB Gaming Western Digital VelociRaptor 10, 000RPM SATA-II 3.0Gb/s 16MB Cache WD1500HLFS)

-Data Hard Drive: 1.5TB (1.5TBx1) SATA-II 3.0Gb/s 32MB Cache 7200RPM Hard Drive

-Optical Drive: Sony 20X Double Layer Dual Format DVD+-R/+-RW + CD-R/RW Drive (BLACK COLOR)

-Optical Drive 2: Sony 20X Double Layer Dual Format DVD+-R/+-RW + CD-R/RW Drive (BLACK COLOR)

-SOUND: ESS 3D WAVETABLE SOUND PCI

-SPEAKERS: 600Watts PMPO Subwoofer Stereo Speakers

 

I have a 900 watt power supply picked out but I would like to know if thats too much? too little?

I would also like to know if I should get an extra fan for my VelociRaptor Hard Drive with the computer being liquid cooled or could I pass on it?

    At a quick glance looks like a 750w PSU will be just fine.

    Modern 600 wattish psu is enough.

    personally  i'd stick with the 900 watt.

    as far as cooling the vraptor.. what kind of case are you packing all those goodies into ? i have an intake fan mounted directly in front of my vraptor in my antec 900 case and i've nerver had a problem with it.
