I just used the eXtreme Power Supply Calculator Lite v2.5 @
http://extreme.outervision.com/index.jsp which is supposed to be pretty
accurate and it recommended 319w supply for my system so I`ve cancelled the
OCZ order and ordered the Seasonic S12II 430W instead, it will be enough for
my current system and as long as I don't go SLI and multiple CPUs etc should
keep me satisfied for the foreseeable future and @ £ 38.75 delivered if I
ever need to replace it then I won't of spent a fortune.

At least the Seasonic is good quality - it'll run up to its rating. Also
very quiet unless really pushed.

I only originally plumped for the OCZ becuase I knew it was a decent supply that would power my system no problem, the 600W rating was a bonus but I didn't think I would need it just yet, I`ve been recommended Seasonic so many times but I always figured they were out of my price range, the 600W M12 certainly was, when I figured that I may not get the OCZ for a few more weeks if at all I started looking at alternatives, last time I looked I never saw the Seasonic 430W and when I saw it this time I thought maybe it will be enough, thats my main priority something that is enough to power my current system which has all the latest connectors. The OCZ is very good value for money becuase it is a decent 600W supply and I probably won't notice any difference between the two untill such time as I *need* more power then the Seasonic can provide but by then I will probably have owned the Seasonic for a few years and won't mind replacing it.
