Need a PSU for this lot. I know the CPU @ stock is 100W.

WD-20EARX X10 (yes 10)
OCZ Vertex 3 240GB X1
ASRock A75M-ITX AMD A75 (Socket FM1) Motherboard
AMD LIano A6-3670K 2.7GHz (Socket FM1) APU Processor
Corsair Vengeance Blue LP 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800 C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit
Sony AD-7800H Slot Loading Slim Internal DVD-RW Drive
Antec Kuhler H20 620 CPU Liquid Cooler

What size PSU then as thats 17.5A i think on start up of the 10 drives alone.
 
Pretty sure you could power that on a 650w without much hassle as you don't have a whopping graphics card to draw all of the power.

XFX, corsair or OCZ brands prefferably

5.30 Watts x 10 = 53 W for the HDD.

Any decent 450 W PSU would be fine with plenty of overhead. HDDs don't spike over their normal read write power usage on startup.

That will hold a lot of goat porn!

Yes a 600W will be fine. I take it it's a proper manufacturer and not some crappy PSU.

As said above a 400W would be fine, I'd use a decent PSU though, when a cheap PSU blows, it often takes things with it

I have 1 x SSD, 1 x ODD and 8 x 2TB HDDs in my rig with a Q6600 and it doesn't even get close to using the 430w the Corsair I have can produce.
