My proposed spec I think will need a lot of power(well more than 400w or so), here it is:
AMD Phenom II 965
Gigabyte GA-MA785GT-UD3H
Corsair XMS3 DHX 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1600C9DHX Twin3X (1600MHz PC3-12800)
XFX ATI Radeon HD 5770 XXX Edition 1024MB
1TB Samsung Spinpoint F3
My old Maxtor DiamondMax 21 (250GB SATA)
Xclio NightHawk Extreme (4x 160mm case fans)
Sony AD-7241S-0B 24x DVD±R + Lightscribe
Also going to power a better than stock cpu cooler(unless I choose one without a fan, hmm) and headset via USB
So I was thinking of one of these, I don't really think I will get less than 600w, I am prefering a modular PSU aswell, is the extra 100w shows below worth £8(maybe it makes it more future proof?)
OCZ ModXStream Pro 500w Silent SLI Certified Modular Power Supply - £55
OCZ ModXStream Pro 600w Silent SLI Certified Modular Power Supply - £65
OCZ ModXStream Pro 700w Silent SLI Certified Modular Power Supply - £73
Any other suggestions welcome
