uhhh that is the one i used just a couple minutes ago

LOL dont forget you got TWO pumps and 12 fans....

my rig needs 540W and you got much more components than i have, so i think 800'ish is reasonable for your set up. if you OC the CPU, then try to not OC it, it will take off 100W or so.

Eh... It should be single processor. That's 219 watts right there.:slap:

And you have 12 fans? Whoa. That must be loud.
