You find this calculator all over the place on various websites with their own name on it (just search PSU calculator). There is also a paid version around which apparently breaks it down to how many amps required per rail which would be very handy (there's a link on that page).

I use it or one of the clones of it every time I buy a new PSU, but then I add a big margin on top because of my tendency to change hardware around and constantly upgrade.
