I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.

Dual X5650 = 336W (so let's assume a heavily OC'ed single chip is 200W)1

1660 Super = 123W (let's say OC'ed 140W)2

Rest of the system I typically calculate as 100W, as described in the "how many watts do I need" thread3.

 

So that's 440W. Non-OC'ed a 400W would likely be plenty, but with an OC you'll want a 500/550W probably.

Get a Tier B or better:

You made a calculation error 😁. That would be 540W.

Where did I make the error?

2x 5650 = 336W, so I just guesstimated 1x 5650 = 200W.

1x 1660 Super = 140W

+100W.

 

200 + 140 + 100 = 440W.

Oh, I thought you talked about two Xeons and I missed the 100W part. My bad.
