    New Power supply

    Good afternoon:

    I'm looking to make some upgrades this year to my gaming rig and I'm starting with the powersupply with an SSD in a couple months and then we'll see from there. To give you an idea of the wattage I'll need for your suggestions (I am unclear on what is enough/required) here are my specs:

    I'm using an Antec Twelve-Hundred case;
    Intel i7 3770k 3.5Ghz;
    16gb of Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz;
    500gb WD 7200RPM HDD;
    I have a Gigabyte MoBo but I don't remember what model;
    I'm also using an AMD 7700 series GPU.

    I use two Acer 21.5in Displays at 1080p, a Logitech G710 keyboard, a Logitech G600 mouse and a Logitech G940 headset if that information is useful to you.

    I am not on a budget, so whatever is going to be the most appropriate purchase for this set up is the recommendation I'm seeking. For reference, I'll likely be buying a Samsung EVO SSD and probably a 1TB WD 7200RPM HDD around the same time. Thanks!!

    What power supply do you have now?

    Outside of the GPU and SSD, nothing really needs upgrading, so not sure what info you're looking for.

    Media: Dual Intel Drake Xeon @ 600mhz | Intel Marlinspike MS440GX | Matrox G440 | 1024mb Crucial PC-133 @ 166mhz | Windows 2000 Pro
