Depends on the components of the system. You can usually get a good idea from the requirements for the video card you choose. They give you a number for the whole system. Not the card alone.

And it is always better to have more than the minimum.

The more fans, optical drives, harddrives, UV Lights and accessories you have, the more amps you need.

There will come a day, such a day when all will be told more than they wish to know, what one hears may explain the past, it may explain the future, but it has never made a difference either way and it will change nothing. Some day.... But that is not this day, and I don't know when, I just don't know.
