I Need some help in figuring out what the power draw from a
C2D E7200, a 4850, 2 sticks of ddr2 ram ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820146699 ), also ill have a PS2 keyboard, a USB mouse, and a USB headset, ill also use 2 DVD burners (IDE), and a wireless NIC card.

Thank you in advance,
Dark Ego

EDIT: i will be overclocking the video card and the cpu. I would like to get at least 3.5 out of the E7200, and i will have aftermarket cooling on the CPU and GPU to get maximum overclocks.

a good 550 watt power supply should do it.

actual power draw probably around 300W under load. 550W PSU sounds good

That's very good because i already have a 550 watt Antec in my current computer

Some models (430D and 500D) are Delta built, but they're probably not bad either.
