The power supply is an important and often neglected component in a PC, especially for those who are aiming for a really powerful computer. The specifications for power supplies have been rising dramatically the last couple of years and nowadays there are retail power supplies at at 1000W and beyond. To most people a 400-500W PSU is more than enough and if we move up to 700W relatively few will have problems with not enough power. At LegionHardware they’ve compared three 700W+ power supplies and one thing is for certain, you need a real monster of a PC to be able to even nudge these power supplies.
