Just so you know that online calculator is extremely inaccurate.
A friend has an odin which shows you current and peak usage in its lil software app with his config the online thing said he needed 393w of his 800w PSU, according to his PSU he's peek usage wat at 603w, personally for my money that is far too inacurate to be trusted

Re: Power Consumption Calculator
What price are you paying for the 480GTX? And you might consider a 560Ti instead though.
