How much PSU do I need for 950?

Hi folks,

I am considering building a 950 system with a 5830 graphic card (may add one more to make it up to dual graphic card in future, but not ATM), a standard 890 motherboard, a 1TB hard drive (may also add one more to do raid backup in future), also want a NZXT Hades Mid Tower Case.

I may probably to some overclocking in future but not ATM.

May I know how much PSU do I need for this system in general?

Thanks a lot!

this Antec has nice long cables, modular and four pcie connectors.

this Sapphire is almost the same but it's cables are shorter.

Thanks mate, this calculator seems to be very useful although it does not include some most recent CPUs such as 950.

just select a simlar one like the 930, they are the same chip and will use about the same power
