There is a good power supply calculator here: http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp For the second question I don't quite understand what you mean. Do you mean that if the PSU fails, could you lose data? I would have thought the answer would be no.

I have never heard of data being deleted from a faulty power supply. I know you can lose unsaved work if your computer shuts down unexpectedly.
