What do I need in a new PSU? [Gamer PC]?

Question

I'm buying a core 2 duo processor, and a Radeon 1900xt video card, what exactly do I need in order to ensure best performance and lifespan of these two items when I buy a PSU?

Answer 1

You want a minimum of 2 PCIe power connectors, and probably at least 500W.

Depending on what card you actually get and what other devices you have (tons of memory, multiple optical drives, multiple hard drives, liquid cooling, etc.) you may want even more raw wattage.

This is an excellent one if you are interested.
