    Nobody needs more than 1000W in any PC. Try hitting 1000W on any of the wattage calculators using realistic hardware configurations and I'll bet you can't even do it. (I hit over 7.4kw by maxing out every setting...so that's why I added the 'realistic hardware config'.) That's the point. If you can't get anywhere near 1000W, that means your PSU is operating around 30-60% of rated output at max load, which translates into efficiency, stability, and longevity.
    I'll procrastinate tomorrow.

    Thanks, and yeah I know 1050 watts sounds a bit much for what I'm going to be using it for, but it gives me a little leeway for some more upgrading in the future.

    Also when I used the wattage calculator that x88x sent me to, it said I would need at least 883 watts of power. It may be doing that for safety, but still the safer the better... Besides with Ultra's lifetime warranty I'm practically set for life
