PC power supply advice

[sizzam960]

So I think people need to know how to figure out what power supply wattage is required of your PC. Here is a handy tool I have found during my research.

ASUS Calculator link--->http://support.asus.com/powersupply.aspx

if you need to know how to use it, enter the exact specifications of your computer and it will tell you the recommended amount of power supply wattage needs to go into your computer to run healthy.

NOTE does not include overclocking for power supply usage if you are overclocking you will most likely have to have a higher wattage than it recommends to ensure it does not under power your pc and fry it as a result.

Links are fine as long as they aren't against the rules like for advertising and such.

There's a pinned thread about how to chose the right PSU, including a link to the calculator in the Cases and Power Supplies section.
