Necksnapper Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Hey all, looking to buy a Corsair HX520W Power supply, just need a little reassurance it's enough power because I'm ignorant when it comes to power. Running an average $90 Gigabyte mobo, nothing fancy, no SLi or any of that. Intel E8500 3.16 Wolfdale processor. 4x 1GB Modules of Corsair XMS2 PC-6400 RAM w/ DHX Heat Xchange. Got a 150gb WD Raptor, and 2x 750gb 7200 RPM SATA HD's. A EVGA GTX260 896mb video card, and a single Sony DVD+/-R/RW Drive. Checked a few calculators online and the most they said I'd need is 358w PSU, but some professional reassurance would make me feel warm @ night before ordering. Thanks in advance!

JoeBob Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Personally, I don't see the HX520 having trouble with that rig. With just a dual core and a single GTX260 GPU, the total power draw will probably be about half the capacity of the HX520. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted August 20, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted August 20, 2008 HX520 would have plenty of power for that system. You can also check out our PSU Finder to see what we recommend for any system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
