It's a nice little tool if your looking for ball-park fiqures...but seems kind of weighted to me.

I wonder if there is an ulterior motive behind this service? Wink2

I'm usually pretty careful about this stuff when I put a PC together. Although I often neglect it when upgrading components. I don't take overclocking into consideration because I never bother doing that.

What does it take to get a simeple answer from UBI about the PC? If you guys think the Vegas 2 forums are crowded with hate & Negative posts from the PS3 and the few 360 folks, wait until the PC game is launched... Wink2

And we have to remember that total Wattage is just a small part of the equation.
There are many other things to take into account such as how many amps are available on the 12v rail(s), rail stability, component quality, efficiency etc.

Just because a PSU is rated 750W doesn't necessarily make it better than a quality 600W for example.

Bit dodgey this one for me.

It says I need 399 Watts, but when I had a 420 Watt power supply, my graphics went screwy until I put a 550 Watt one in.
