Need updated PSU calculator...

[rcrez]

Does anyone have an updated PSU calculator?

I plan on OC an E4300 to 2.7ghz (mabye 3.6ghz later), I have 3 IDE hard drives (maybe SATA later) , DVD-RW (maybe HD-DVD later), AGP 8X (PCI-E later), DDR 400 (maybe DDR2 1066 later)....

How would an ultra V series 400W look, I have it free after rebate:

Or would this, Antec 480W $20, no rebate, be preferrable:

How do Antec products rate anyways?

I found an Antec review here: http://www.ngohq.com/home.php?page=Articles&go=read&arc_id=47

The review is quite positive

However it seems like someone here is quite against the Antec power supplies in general: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1138851

Any thoughts?

the free ultra is good.

you can't judge psu's on most reviews: The vast majority are "i plugged it into my computer and it turned on, 10/10".

Extreme outervision calculator isn't what you want, either: it doesn't tell you the amperage you need, and it's quite a bit off.

The most sure way is the Zippy psu calculator, in the sticky in this subforum, and following the instructions with it.

For your build, EITHER PSU is probably more than enough. What kind of AGP card?

Call us when you figure out what PCI-e card you plan on getting.
