A build with no PSU

SeanSpade · 11-16-2008, 07:25 PM

Here is the build, I have all of the parts in boxes next to me, and ready to go, except the power supply.

EVGA 750i FTW Edition motherboard
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 @ 2.83 Ghz
OCZ SLI 800 Mhz RAM
DVD/RW Sony Optical
9800 GX2 (by Evga as well)
1x 500 gb Hard drive
1x 1 tb Hard drive
Vista x64 on the 500.
Coolermaster Centurion Mid tower

I bought a 650 watt psu, and almost RMA'd my mobo for the problems I was facing, but came to the conclusion that my PSU was just lacking.
What is the MINIMUM amount of Watts required to run this machine at full load?

I would also appreciate some links to definitely recommended PSU's, because now I have 2 650's, and nothing to do with them. I have a new PC, and I have to keep using my year old, because I can't power it!
