Per pcpartpicker, you will need 800W min. I'd recommend 1000W. Also, you need the ASUS PLUS for those five HDD's. And why five drives? Why not get one or two big ones and partition them?

Absolutely get that XFX/Seasonic over the Corsair. Not that the Corsair is bad, but the XFX is made by one of the top manufacturers in the industry, it's slightly more efficient (platinum vs gold), fully modular, and almost $40 cheaper. No-brainer

This is just a thanks to those who have responded so quickly to my post. Initially, before I had come up with everything that I listed, I was looking at 850W but I would rather be on the safe side because who knows what I might want to add down the line. My current computer that I am using to write this, I built 10 years ago and the only thing that I have done is added more RAM (2GB) which is the max and a new larger hard drive. Every thing else is the same including a 300W psu. I am just hoping that I can get that kind of wear out of this new build which I am hoping will be my last. I am hoping that I can last 10 years. I am 85 now.

Wow. I still have to remind my parents where the USB ports are on their Dell. Kudos to you, sir.
