For the last few Days Running PG CPU MT Task and GFN 17 Mega or GFN 18 I have found that the Normal Power Supply is not Cutting it.
Cullen (LLR) v8.01 CPU Tasks are Killers and Really Stress your CPU Power. (
Oktoberfest Challenge)Pushing this Rig
View System I am seeing 680 Watts to 710 Watts running One CPU MT Task and 1 GPU Task @ 4400 MHz.
So to be on the Safe Side I would recommend at lest an 850 Watt Gold for One GPU and at lest a 1200 Watt for Two GPUs.
As far as Folding I am seeing Running PG CPU MT Task and Folding on the GPU is only hitting about 640 Watts to 660 Watts so Team Members that only have a 750 Watt Power Supply should be OK, But I would still go with at lest a 850 Watt Power Supply.

View System Running the same above I have never seen more than 660 Watts so with only One GPU a 750 Watt Power Supply should be OK.
With Two Graphics Cards I would go with no less than a 1000 Watt Power Supply.
Overhead I would go no less than an 850 Watt Power Supply.
This applies to running BOINC Projects and Folding and has Nothing to do with Gamming or Video Editing.
