Power Supply Question

[thejeremy]

Does anyone have any good links or rules of thumb as to what size of power supply in terms of wattage would be sufficient for a new computer? For example, how many watts does an average video card require, a CPU, etc...

Thanks in advance.

Every CPU, Video Card... require different amounts of power. What are you looking at pruchasing?

Google "power supply calculator" and you can add up based on what specs you pick. The journeysystems.com calculator seemed to provide for your needs.

Actually this is exactly what I was looking for:

I looked at the journeysystems.com link but it was kind of outdated. This one had newer components to choose from. Thanks for help
