My PC is
Intel Core i5-2400 3.1 GHz
8GB RAM Crosair Vengence
ATI HD 5750 1GB x2 Crossfire
Motherboard MSI-P67A-GD65
3x Seagate Baracuda SATA HDD
1 DVD ROM Drive
Thermal take Spin-Q VT
All in Cooler Master HAF 922
I had a PSU Corsair TX850
It's dead now.
So I need a new one so what wattage I need for this setup.
As I got this from my friend he said even a 650W will run this but when I ask someone in te market they say at least 900W.
So your help is required people.

The estimated wattage for the system is about 416W , 650W from a reputable brand like EVGA , Corsair , Antec , Seasonic or XFX will do the trick supposedly.

The TDP for the 5750 is 86W so you needn't worry so much as 650W should be plenty , just make sure the PSU is good quality in order not to fry your system.
Even 450w would run your build without issues. Whoever told you you need 900w needs to get their head out of their ass, pardon my language.

The CPU is 95w, the GPUs are 86w x 2 = 172w, plus 150w overhead (which is a lot) is 417w.
