    Asus P7P55D LE P55 Socket 1156 8 Channel Audio motherboard
    BX80605I5750 - Intel Core i5 750, S 1156, Lynnfield, Quad Core
    Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Quiet Intel CPU Cooler
    OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1333MHz/PC3-10666 Platinum XTC Triple Channel Memory
    Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5770 Vapor-X 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card x2
    Kingston 64 GB SSD V series harddrive
    1TB Samsung SpinPoint F3 HD
    Hitachi 250GB SATA Hard Drive
    Xigmatek Midgard case
    Dell 2410 A01
    Mionix Saiph 3200 gaming mouse
    Saitek Eclipse 111 keyboard
    Windows 7 ultimate

    I appreciate that some components here have there own power supply,I am just to lazy to filter out the list.
    I have had a look at the reccomended psu list but feel that I do not want to get too big a supply when it might not be needed.
    Always had good advice here so look forward to suggestions.

    Regards.
    Glenn.

    a good 500W PSU will do that no problem providing you arent going to add anythying extra too it.

    500-650W is all you will ever need.

    650 watt is still enough for crossfire

    hell you could prob cross fire 2 5770s on a 500watt psu to begin with

    850 watt is what 2 * 295 area

    I am actually using a OCZ Fatality 550w power supply with the twin 5770 grapic cards, but was wondering if I should go a little bigger and upgrade the psu. But it looks like this is not needed.
    Am I right?

    nah 550W is perfectly fine for your system even with an overclocked 750

    How about one of the new Seasonic X series PSUs? Not the cheapest, but quite possibly the best there is (at the moment).
