Hey all,

I'm embarking on another new build and was just wondering the wattage of PSU you guys recommend for it. I keep getting conflicting answers but this is what I've come up with. Please give me your 2 cents.

The build:
Intel Core i7-3770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor
NZXT Kraken X40 98.3 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Asus SABERTOOTH Z77 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard
Corsair Vengeance 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Crucial M4 128GB 2.5" Solid State Disk
Toshiba 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
2x EVGA GeForce GTX 680 4GB FTW edition
Cooler Master HAF 932 Blue ATX Full Tower Case
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit

I'm running 2 24" LED monitors as well.

I also plan on Oc'ing everything.

Will this power supply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139041 be adequete for my needs? I would like to do a bit of modding on this machine as well. Maybe adding some additional LED's or black lights to the inside with some UV sleeves etc. Will this PSU be enough to run everything full boar with a little headroom to spare?
 
You could do it on a good 550w unit. That unit is plenty of room for modding, OCing, water cooling, fans, lights, tons of HDDs, all sorts of great stuff.
