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

I use the corsair one. It's better

Thanks for the link! I've got a 550w psu, but it says i'm only using 359w? Enough juice left over for crossfire later

Wait that thing is inaccurate ?

I am buying a 480 got it for cheap, that thing says I need a psu 536 underload?

What would you recommend for a 480? then I am currently running a 500watt which i will upgarde when I get the card later today

can u provide us with ur full system specs?

What price are you paying for the 480GTX? And you might consider a 560Ti instead though.
