Total wattage is not a reliable indicator of a PSU's capacity anymore. What matters these days is your total 12v capacity. IOW, there's no point buying a 450w PSU if it's only got 20A on the 12v rail(s) and you need 25A. Get that right and the 5v and 3.3v will follow. That said, you can get a reasonable estimate of your system's power requirements at http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculator.jsp
.

Thanks, I will check it out.
