So I found this website that outlines in broad strokes what you need as far as wattage goes in a power supply - http://www.pcpower.com/technology/power_usage/
Dunno if it is up to date or accurate, which is all the answer I need, I suppose.
As for my specific question, I have a 850w power supply: can it run this theoretical setup (monitors and graphics cards in the mail)?
Eyefinity triple monitors @ 5760 x 1080
ASUS P8Z68-V/Gen3 Motherboard
Corsair Vengeance 16GB ram
Intel Core i7 2600k
Blu-ray/DVD burner
6 NZXT Enthusiast Series 2800RPM 120mm fans
XSPC X20 750 Dual 5.25" Bay Reservoir/Pump combo
Wireless Internet PCI card
Two Radeon HD7970 Graphics cards in Crossfire mode (these are 250w each, in case you can't find here's a link http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1847/1/)
Corsair Force Series GT 120GB SSD
Since I know the graphics cards are 250w each, it seems highly dubious that my current power supply is sufficient - all of the rest of that would have to take less than 350w in order for me to be in the clear. You think I should buy a new power supply? If so, how much do you think I need?
