Definitely get a quality 650watt.

I said the same things as you, but before long I ended up overclocking to 5ghz, and pushing my video card too.

Well even if he overclocked as much as possible on both he would still be fine with that capstone.

Thanks for all of the replies you guys smile.gif I looked around and it sounds like the 260 draws about 180w (according to one source) and the processor is at 95 stock? How much does RAM take? Because I think I saw some numbers for ram being like 150-170 but they really surprised me - I was expecting something way lower. And don't worry, my meathead questions are dying off between the help from you guys and the reading that I've been doing on my own since the time of posting smile.gif

And btw, I trust you guys at this point. Multiple voices from seasoned posters. I'm just that annoying kid in class that had to understand how everything worked, resulting in an annoying amount of questioning tongue.gif

Original Sin - Glad that you do smile.gif

RAM draws about 3-5W per stick.

My researching sucks smile.gif Ty for that.

I'm going to be buying this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151093

Which is basically what was first recommended, only with an extra 100w at the same price because that's how neweggs deals are right now. You've all been great - I haven't had this much success posting a help thread on the internet in a while. It's really appreciated thumb.gif
