Hello, iam starting to build my own computer, and was wondering on what sort of psu should i look for, i plan for
:AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 955 Black Edition "125W Edition" 3.20GHz (Socket AM3)
HIS ATI Radeon HD 6850 ICEQ X TURBO 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express
Still looking at motherboards, the case has 5 120mm fans 12v each i think.
But iam just little confused by the amount power i need i thought id get Cooler Master GX650 650W ATX SLI PSU BNIB Power Supply
Will 650w do the job
a 650 will be fine though i recommend antec, seasonic or corsair psu over coolermaster any day
also i recommend waiting for bulldozer or just get a i5 or i3 sandy bridge system
750 Watt Corsair on SLI 580 85% load
750 Watt Rosewill on CF 6950 80% load
650 Watt Diablotech Single card but at 96% load
All 3 have been running 24/7 for over a year now with no issues and are in a area that has limited Breathing so I know they are running hot as hell. I don't care what Name brand you buy you have a 50/50 chance it will die in the first month. As long as you don't buy garbage like Power Ups and those really crappy made out of recycled pop can Chinese power supplies you should be good.
