I am building my first medium-end gaming PC, and I don't know what wattage I will need for my power supply. Do I add all of the components' wattage? Do some components get their power from the motherboard? If my motherboard says it needs 200+ watts, does that mean I add the 200 to the total, or only if the components plugged into the motherboard are less than 200 watts? Anyways, I need to know the process in how to calculate it. I tried searching the web, but the things I have seen only show me a general wattage. I want to know my exact wattage and how to calculate it if I choose a different CPU or whatnot. Thanks!
