Unless the system is 24/7/365 and in large groups (in other words, as part of a server farm), the benefits of a 80 Plus Platinum-rated power supply may not outweigh the cost premium. | |

Added more info about storage.

| Sep 30, 2015 at 4:24 | comment | added | Adam | Based on the components you have and 16GB of RAM, you'll need a PSU with a minimum of 600W. | |
| Sep 30, 2015 at 4:23 | comment | added | Cfinley | @Andy I will probably get him one or two 3.5" 7200 RPM 2TB HDD for backups and maybe a small SSD for the OS. | |
| Sep 30, 2015 at 4:21 | comment | added | Andy | What type of hard drives? HDD/SSD? If HDD, what spin speed? | |
| Sep 30, 2015 at 4:12 | comment | added | Cfinley | @Adam More than the ones I have listed at the end of my question? I will give this a few days and then ask about the case, which I believe is the last question | |
| Sep 30, 2015 at 4:10 | comment | added | Adam | Ah, the final (?) piece of the puzzle has arrived. The PSU will largely depend on the other components you're getting. Any speculation on those yet? | |
