Power Supply advice

[engstrom0304]

In this thread http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?p=11799399#post11799399 I realised that my psu was not good enough for my system.

I am thinking for a Corsair Tx 650w or Tx 750w

I used the psu calculator at http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp

With CPU Utilization at 85%
System load at 90%
it says 591 w

With Cpu Utilisation at 100%
System load at 100%
it says 714 w

I dont know what to go for,

Specs:
Q6600 Go
Asus Striker Extreme
3870 x2
1 hdd sata
1 dvd-rw drive
Xspc dual bay 750 watercooling pump
1 120mm fan (radiator)
1 sound card
4 gb (2 x 2gb) ddr2 sd ram

thats pretty much it

basically all im asking is for that system, what psu would you recommend

i would say the 650W, but that is based upon the system + excess need however i am not sure how much power the WC stuff needs

psu calculators always overestimate the power requirements

650 will be fine for that.

corsair 650 is cheap atm i think? grab it
