Can anyone link to a power usage calculator that let's you input components and give you an accurate estimate? Thanks.

314 watts? That's it? I guess I'm good with my 700w OCZ then.

You have a single 8800GTS and one hard drive. Yeah.... I'd say that sounds about right.

*The eXtreme Outervision Calculator is NOT recommended or supported due to only providing wattage estimates.

Does anyone have a link to a better power usage calculator then? The one that still works in the How to Buy a PSU thread is extremely out of date.

I don't understand what's wrong with a wattage estimate.You're not going to be pulling more than 60% of your total wattage from the 12v line anyways... Just use that as the maximum "Oh crap" estimation.
