PSU calculators

A friend of mine has a PSU that sounds like it is on the way out.
Now looking at one of these online PSU calculators seems to suggest he'll need a 650W min PSU, ut that seems a little excessive to me.
What does anyone else think?

Q9450
2 x 2GB DDR2
GTX570
BluRay
1x Hard drive

Any help or reassurance would be appreciated.

Most likely to run on a lower wattage psu, but its always nice to have abit of headroom.

A quality 550w will be fine.

Andantech get 392w from the mains with a GTX 570.

thanks for that.
Do you rate the BeQuiet range? they seem a reasonable price but he'll spend more if the BeQuiet is prone to going pop.

XFX personally, very quiet and very reliable not too sure about Bequiet

BeQuiet are fine. Do you want modular or non modular ?

Not an issue I don't think, unless you think one is particularly preferable.
