Ok so I'm about to order parts and build a new computer, mostly for gaming and various engineering software used by my school. Mostly for gaming though! All parts are listed below, minus a power supply, which brings me to my first question.
What kind of power supply should I get? Wattage I'd be safe with? Number of 12V rails needed? for below components.
And also, if anyone has suggestions to the items listed below, they would be greatly appreciated.
