Here are the configs that i bought last week: Phenom 955 (3.2GHz) Gigabye 880 4 gb ddr3 1333 Radeon 5670 1gb ddr5 WD 1 tb hdd I m just wondering how much power supply do i need to run this specs at the maximum load... A 450 watt psu would be enough or do i need more? I will be using this system to play heavy games and some video editing..... Any suggestion would be helpful...tnx in advance...:chk:
Hi, I would go with at least 500W power supply. I checked out this newegg calculator Newegg.com - Recommended Power Supply Calculator. and it came to just over 403 watts for this kind of setup but didnt include things like fans and extra drives, other pci cards, and external devices. So I would go with one at the minimum of 500Watts. The video card needs at least 400W and if you ever want to use 2 of them it says you need a 500Watt supply for it.
