PSU calculators generally aren't very accurate. All the current ones are using really old 'algorithms' to determine the required output and don't focus on the 12v rail, which has become more or less supremely important in modern systems... hence the massively overblown recommendation for Fadingz's machine, which would be fine with a quality 550 or 650 watt unit.
