20W for chipset? I don't know where you're getting this but as far as I know the 790FX uses less than 10W under load and since graphics are on CPU basic chipsets like the 790FX are required... that means 95 for CPU (get this... not 65!) + 15 for on-CPU GPU + 10 for chipset = 120W... there are boards out there that can handle 140W just for CPU.

You're off with that assumption, deal with it and leave the weak arguments for a some other time.
