Alright - Since my build back in February I have had multiple BSOD that have happened. I will go weeks with no issues in between thinking I have it fixed and then BOOM it happens again.

A friend of mine thinks it is because I have too small of a power supply and that when he upgraded his and added a clean power UPS he hasn't had issues since. What I am looking for is for someone to tell me if my PS is big enough to handle what I have in the case. Below is what I have in my build.

Go here, click on LITE Version, fill in all your stuff and at the end take that calculated number and add 25% for safety, spikes etc. That'll tell you if your PSU is sufficient. (It's not a gospel but it'll give you an idea;)
