How much power my PC needs ?

Dear,

The 700-800W can operate the specs you have. The latest high-powered GPU can be able to achieve it that cause to have a +12V rail on latest computers. When the high-powered GPUs was first declared, the standard ATX power supplies were 5V powerful and can only support 50-60% of the effect in the 12V power. However, the GPU manufacturers, suggested power supplies that are 500-600W or higher. In addition to the latest ATX power supplies can bring nearly the total rated capacity of the standard 80-90% in the figure of +12V power.
