Feature Suggestion: Interactive Power Supply Wattage Calculator

I would like to suggest a feature for the site: an integrated, interactive Power Supply (PSU) Wattage Calculator. Modern GPUs like the Nvidia RTX 40 series and AMD RX 7000 series exhibit transient power spikes that can exceed their rated TDP by 50% for milliseconds. A built-in calculator that automatically factors in CPU TDP, GPU peak power draws, RAM modules, NVMe drives, liquid cooling pumps, and fan counts—plus a recommended 20% wattage safety headroom—would give users exact PSU recommendations (e.g. 750W 80+ Gold vs 850W ATX 3.0) directly when selecting parts for their builds.

This would be super helpful, especially for calculating transient spikes on high-end GPUs!
