Thanks for replies. I'm definitely not going to go for more than a 750watt for PSU.
I was pretty sure that 1000w was waaaaaay overkill. Surprisingly, the vendor was Maingear who told me I would be better off building from their new top of the line desktop, and dumb down their default...
I'm looking to work with a boutique builder to build a new system spec'd for video and photo editing (and occasional audio mixing) but concerned about one vendor's default PSU for this configuration:
- Asus Maximus Formula mob
- Intel Q6600 processor with 92mm Zalman fan cooler
- 4 MB Corsair...
