esberelias Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 hey guys, I've recently up upgraded my system hardware and was wondering if my HX650W would still be able to take on this build or should i upgrade to a 850? my old system specs were: Cooler Master Storm Scout | Asus P5Q Deluxe Motherboard | Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 3.16GHz | Zalman CNPS 10X Extreme Heatsink | P A TRIOT Viper 2x2GB DDR2 RAM 1066MHz (2 sets total of 8GB)| XFX Radeon HD 5770 1GB DDR5 | Two O CZ 30GB Solid state Drives Running RAID 0 Configuration | WD 1TB Caviar Black (for Storage) | WD 1TB Caviar Green (for Backup) | Samsung SH-B083L Blu-Ray ROM & DVD Writer | 3 scythe 120MM cooling fans | 2 A n tec 3-speed 120MM cooling fans. my upgrades: Asus Sabertooth X58 Motherboard Intel i7 950 3.06GHz (not OC'd) Corsair H70 water-cooled CPU heatsink Corsair Tri-Channel XMS3 DDR3-1600 3X2GB a second XFX Radeon HD 5770 1GB DDR5 (CROSSFIRE) WD 2TB Caviar Green HDD added the reason i'm asking is because the processor alone required 140W under load and my graphic cards need about 250W a piece. For now i have taken out 1 of the video cards and my HDD's to lighen the load because I'm paranoid but before i go out and buy a new PSU i thought i'd ask to see what you guys think? Thanks in advance guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burebista Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 [...] my graphic cards need about 250W a piece. You're joking, right? 77W in Crysis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
