HOODedAssault Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 think you should be fine. pushing it a bit but soundcard will run up very little power. I ran 470 sli overclocked to 800/2000 off a 750tx with an i7 920 at 4ghz for about 6 month. power supply pumped out a lot of heat but still handled it. then i sold it to a buddy whos been running his system off it for almost 2 years now. your better off with a 1050hx or better tho. i miss the 950tx, it was a beast for its performance, most reviews i saw had it in gold standard. they still have some on newegg as of the other day.

peanutz94 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Those cards pull about 330watts at full bore! thats 660watts. It does not leave much more for the rest of the system. As Hoodedassault suggested you might want to go bigger especially if you plan on overclocking anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
