I am building a new Q6600 system and would like to know if my PC POWER Turbo-Cool 510SLI is big enough ?

Here are the list of components:
Gigabyte X38-DQ6 mobo
Q6600
Xigmatek - S1283 cpu cooler
4gb Firestix DDR800
2 Seagate SATA HDD's
USB 2.0 External DVD/RW
HD3870 X2
4-120mm fans
1-90mm fan

The power supply is 510w continuous and 650w peak. Do you think it will do the job or fail ?

Thanks !
 
Those calculators work well, except they don't have all the most current parts listed, so it is still only a rough idea. But it appears that I should be fine.
 
It's great to be certain, but with any of those, you aren't certain at all. Plus, the vast majority of those only show watts and not the amperage you really need, they use the max tpd figure (which is far from accurate), that sorta thing.
