Power Supply: Ultra X3 1000W
The configuration of my PC at the time of writing probably only needs a 600 Watt power supply at most. However, I wanted the option to upgrade, adding a second PCI-e SLI graphics card or a multi hard drive RAID configuration is going to take extra power. I had originally decided upon the Ultra X3 800 Watt power supply but found the Ultra X3 1000 Watt online for only a few dollars more which made my decision to go with the larger much easier. The Ultra X3 1000 Watt power supply is both energy efficient and quite. It also allows you to plug in only the cables you need so there won't be any extra dangling inside the case. There are also 6 and 8 pin PCI-e power connectors for the latest graphics cards.
