Hi guys, how much power do I need for this?

Asus Xonar DX

Power Supply:

Those calculators will be high. You'll draw under 400W maxed out. Probably closer to a max of around 350W overclocked (stress testing), and less on normal gaming.
 
That 650w seasonic will be more than enough, 300-350w is what you should see at max load. its a top notch PSU that will give you years of service
 
Assuming no overclocking. And allowing for aging, around 450W will be the recommended minimum power requirement.

Seasonic PSU is an excellent choice.

Would you stop spreading this FUD? You don't know how PSUs work, stop recommending PSUs for others.

are you like spaming yoru way to 50 postes or something this is like a near identical post in another thread.

i would recommend something in the 650 range as well if your buying new.
 
Just pointing out that a PSU of only 450W is necessary for this system.

650W is really overkill. Although having more power than not enough is better than being under powered. The Seasonic is a good choice regardless.
 
You have a 350-400w system. Since most PSUs in that wattage range don't have 2 pci-e connectors. I'd recommend a 500w unit, since it should come with the connectors required.

Regardless though, that X-650 is a great supply. I'd just roll with it.
