    Posted: 23 Oct 2010 at 3:00am
Hello all,

I have a question concerning what power supply I would need for the build below. This is the one area I am ignorant on.

This is not a gaming machine it is for professional 3d modeling, rendering, and photoshop work (hence the 12 gig ram).

Basically I want to know if a 750 will be enough to handle the build without putting stress on it or if a 1k is needed. My concern is how much the ram and hard drives will add to the power consumption as per Ender's guide it recommends staying under 3/4 of the max output.

Thanks

750 is enough, next to the video card, the power draw of most other things is pretty low

I'd recommend the Corsair 750w.
