Newegg Power Supply Calculator... Don't use it.

I used the eXtreme Power Supply Calculator when doing my current build and it was pretty close to the actual pull of my system.

 

http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp

 

It overshot by about 30% but looking at some other websites out there it seems like it was pretty close.

 

That is what I tend to use as well.

It seems reasonably accurate, the issue with it is that it can be very intimidating and confusing to people with out a bit of PC knowledge.

It doesn't really ask much more than the newegg calculator, it just doesn't ask it in as much of a user friendly way.

Add 25% to whatever PC Partpicker tells you your build comes out to and get that watt power supply. Found this to be more than accurate.

You'd think Newegg would include a few more choices in their PSU calculator, things like additional PCIe devices, CPU Cooler, Fans, etc..

 

 

I've always used Outervision's PSU calc, is that a trusted one 'round these parts?

Anyone know how to take screen shots on a Chromebook? I got mine to be 578 which seems about right.
