If you search some of the tech forums or modding forums they list what component takes approximately what current so you can work it out form there.......
Current (Amps) x voltage = Power (watts) |

Yeah it will usually say in the specs.
I don't think 270 is too shabby...any lower and yah...I'd get a bigger PS. 350 - 400 is more the standard now.

Do not get a BestTec, they are POS power supplies....I repeat, do not get BestTec! Antec good, BestTec bad.

also the ratings given need to be taken with a pinch of salt sometimes, as some manufaturers use the RMS (Root mean square) value and other the true power rating
