The machine will also have 2 SATA HDD's (although this will be upgraded to 4 in time) and 2 optical drives. I know I need to upgrade from my current 400 Watt supply but I am not wanting to spend money on something completely over the top like a 1Kw supply.

Quote from: Sean As the title says. I am upgrading my main machine over the next few weeks. This is the processor I am buying.

Disks use very little power (relatively) - especially if you can start them sequentially, not simultaneously.
Will you be using all those cores flat out (simultaneously)?
Do you have a big fat video card?
Don't forget to include some big fans.
Remember that switched power supplies will only use as much power as is required - although
a big PSU can maintain rail voltages better than a small PSU.

Maybe I should just try the 400 Watt supply in it when I buy the board. I could stick the power meter on it and give it something complicated to do to see if I need to upgrade?
