Wow Crashing, due to graphics card going CRAZY!

I'm pretty sure n0ct means GPU there, and also -- those adapters usually come 1 or 2 with your GPU! If not, most computer parts stores sell them for fairly cheap.

Well yeah, connect the PSU to the GPU

ENERMAX NAXN 450W ATX12V Power Supply $45

PCI-Express Connector: 1 x 6-Pin, 1 x 6+2-Pin

Keep in mind that if you go for the Antec 450W you need to use an adapter to connect the PSU, it only comes with one 6pin PCI-E power connector.

Gonna get the Seasonic 520W, will that have Enough power for a 7950 ?

Yes with a fair bit of margin.

mate are you in the uk or the us?

UK mate Why'd you ask ?

[aginorr]

if your in the uk or dont mind paying extra for shipping then go on amazon for the powercool 650w modular psu (i cant post a link since i only just started my mmo-c account)
its always better to get more than what you need, it will cover room for overclocking and means you shouldnt need to upgrade your psu again anytime soon. (its not a huge brand name but i have this exact psu in my setup and my friend has the 750w version of it and we have had no problems at all with them)

The Powercool 650W modular is a horrible PSU, yet another no-name Chinese crap unit.

Stick with the seasonic, great build quality and a reliable psu.

I missed the UK part, in that event I'd recommend any of these:

XFX Core Edition 550W ~£48 (Review)
Enermax NAXN 82+ ENP550AWT-B 550W £60 (Review)
Corsair Enthusiast 650W v2 £66
Be Quiet Pure Power L7 530W £63 (Review)
Seasonic M12II-520 £69

you are entitled to your opinion, you are entitled to linking forum posts about people qqing that the specs are bad etc, but im talking from experience of actually using powercool psu's and they work perfectly fine, since the 7950 requires a minimum 500w psu a 520w doesnt leave much room for upgrades

A system with a 7950 hardly uses more than 350W during full load, just because it is recommended to have 500W doesn't mean you have to.
The recommendations for PSU are based on units like that Powercool, which markets it self as 650W but probably have a hard time delivering more than 400W.

There is a reason why list like this doesn't have a bunch of no-name Chinese made units on the http://www.overclock.net/t/183810/fa...power-supplies.

If the Powercool units works good for you and your friend then by all means keep using them, but after looking around and reading reviews of people that had their motherboards and other parts destroyed by a Powercool PSU I will not under any circumstances advice someone to get one. It isn't worth risking your whole computer just to save £20 on a cheap PSU.

I agree a psu upgrade is a good idea but if he isnt having any problems with other games it is highly unlikely that a PSU is going to fix his wow issues.

[Cyb3r]

listen to noct i've had to save more than one person's pc due to an inadequate psu : rule of thumb do not skimp out on the psu it just isn't worth it to endanger a 1000pounds / euro's

cause one game stresses the gpu more than the other ie if they don't stress the gpu hard enough to actually draw enough power (ie read half assed ports like assassin's creed) then he won't hit the limit on powerdraw all signs point out to not enough / inadequate psu issues
