Thanks!
I did compute it manually from [1] and the CPU, fans,
motherboard, RAM and SSD are at most 232W.
CPU AMD mid end (4 cores) 125
fans 80 mm (3K RPM) 9 (3*3W = 9W)
120 mm (2K RPM) 12 (2*6W = 12W)
motherboard high end 80
RAM ~DDR3 (1.5V) 3 (actually it is a DDR4)
SSD 2.8
(+ 125 (* 3 3) (* 2 6) 80 3 2.8) ; 231.8W
The only thing left is the GPU, I take it even in that PSU
calculator if you input the msi Nvidia Geforce GT 710 it is
the maximum use (gaming) you get as output.
