Question im trying to find out the best way to know how much power im going to need

[McCracken92]

I just am not sure how big of a power supply I need. I bought a 1200W supply.
Thermaltake Toughpower iRGB Plus 1200W Digital SLI/CrossFire Ready Continuous Power Digital RGB LED Smart Zero Fan ATX12V v2.4 / SSI EPS v2.92 80 PLUS PLATINUM Certified 10 Year Warranty Full Modular Power Supply PS-TPI-1200F2FDPU-1

but I don't know if im going to need more and what's the best way to add every component up by the Thermal Design Power rating. one of the video cards I was looking at was Thermal Design Power of 225W and I wanted 2. planned on a big mother board and CPU 6x RBG fans and possibly up too 6x RBG LED strips should the supply I got push enough power or is it even a good quality PSU? if anyone could help me with more info that would be SICK!!!

You already have the PSU. The iRGB is digital and monitors your power usage. You can LITERALLY see how much power you're using by using Thermaltake's software.

Any way... Unless you're overclocking a 28 core Xeon and have three or more graphics cards, you probably don't need 1200W.

1200W and up are usually reserved for cryptocurrency miners with many GPUs or someone that's doing LN2 overclocking.

You can power that with an 850W or 1000W. 1200W is more than enough.
