372 Watts, 2 fans(1 case 1 cpu), 15% capacitor aging. I guess im a little unsure as i see most people recommending at least 650W for a system with a card that needs 2x pci-e power connectors and 850 watts for a dual gpu setup I tried going more high end, with high speed sata drives, crossfired 5850s...

Just wondering how accurate are these things? Im looking at http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp Seems like the peak wattage numbers are a little low. maybe its cause i dont have any other pci cards/only 2 HDDs Radeon 5850 Phenom II x4 925 or 965BE (not sure yet) 4GB DDR3 (2x XMS3 2GB)

cool thanks for the quick reply! looks like it costs about AUD180 here down under

oh not backwards compatible? >.<
what speed DDR3 memory would be good? no idea how to spec memory heh

pretty new here, I'm planning on building a new PC using ASRock 890GX(leaving the option of upgrading to dual gpu in future), AMD Phenom II x4 955, radeon 5850.
I was wondering if i could scavenge my old 3 GB DDR2 800MHz and use it or would that be a bottleneck in the system.

Looking to learn from this forums, got a new graphic card for my birthday but it cant fit into my current computer >.< (dell)
going to build a new computer around it before it totally devalues lol
