When choosing a power supply for your system, keep in mind that total system power consumption is dependent upon the system configuration, including add-in boards, peripherals, memory, and processor. Instances of using undersized power supplies have resulted in add-in boards and peripherals that do not function properly.
Calculating approximate power usage of the entire system is important to ensure that the power supply meets the system's consumption requirements. The Technical Product Specification for your Intel® Desktop Board includes a section for Electrical Considerations with a recommended minimum power supply.
You can also try using a power supply calculator to help you determine the minimum power supply you'll need for your configuration. You can search the web for "power supply calculator" to find sites that offer them.
