Hello everyone, I am building an encoding box with an SR-2 and here is what I have come up with so far.
This box will be not used for gaming. Right now I have a CORSAIR Professional Series Gold AX1200 listed
but I was wondering since I won't be gaming, what is the lowest wattage high quality psu I could go with to
save some cash? I was opting for the 1200 just to make sure I will have enough cables to cover the SR-2.
I would also like the PSU to be modular. Basically would a AX750 or 850 be enough?

Parts:
EVGA Classified SR-2
2x Intel Xeon E5645 Westmere-EP
CORSAIR Professional Series Gold AX1200
G.SKILL PI Series 12GB (6 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
Xigmatek Elysium Black Case
3x RAID0 SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB
ZOTAC ZT-40601-20L GeForce GT 430 (Fermi) Zone Edition 1GB (Quiet passive HS)
 
You'll have plenty of cables for SR.2 on AX750. But if you aren't going to run SLI, why get SR.2? Overclocking?
 
At full CPU load with 8 hard drives and an idle GTX460 I'm looking at 550-600W on my SR2. I have dual L5640s at 200x18 = 3600

You should run folding @ home on that baby during idle time if you have any :)
