Hey guys,

I'm doing a build and I've got a question on power. For what I'm doing, is 750 Watts enough to take care of business?

Here's the Core setup of my potential system:

Case: Antec DF-85 Black ATX Full Tower Case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129087
CPU: Intel I7 2600k Sandy Bridge http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115070
MOBO: ASUS P8Z68 Deluxe http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131753
GPU: ASUS GTX 570 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121432
RAM: CORSAIR DOMINATOR 16GB (4 x 4GB) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145312
PSU: Antec HGC-750 750W http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371049

Thanks for any input in advance!

A 750W PSU is perfect for that setup. It'll only be running at ~50% under load, which puts it in the optimal zone for noise and efficiency. You won't be dissapointed with that rig!
