    Hello,

    I just read the sticky about PS's but i'm still not sure how to figure out what size PS I need.

    Most of the parts i've picked out don't even list the amount of power they require. 2 dvd/blueray burners, 24gb ram, a 2tb hd, led lights, sound card, and probably a few more items that I didn't list.

    2 ssd drives that are 1.5w
    a processer thats 130w
    and 2 video cards... the video cards have a 680w system requirement????

    where do I start? :confused:

    Thanks
