Hi. I am planning to build this PC:

Core i7 920
Gigabyte eX58 UD4P
Sapphire HD4890 Toxic
OCZ 6GB(3X2GB) 1600MHZ CL8
WD 1TB 32MB SATA II Cavalier Black
Asus Vento Chassis
Thermaltake 500W PSU
2xDvD Writer
[SIZE=“1”]bla bla bla[/SIZE]

2

With a 500 watt PSU?

[SIZE=“2”]eXtreme Power Supply Calculator [/SIZE] says 500W PSU is pretty enough even in peak load.:confused:

That’s funny, I calculate about 700watt for long-term stable use.

Yeah like anti said, have fun with a 500 watt. Also have fun with your cpu and gpu running at 65* idle.

Get a Corsair 750.
