    Hi guys I just need a quick question answered about what PSU I will need for my new PC.

    The bits I am buying are.

    Phenom II X3 720 Black Edition which I will OC to about 3.4
    Asus M4A79XTD EVO 790X
    4gb Kingston Ddr3 1600mhz Hyperx Memory, which I will try to OC to CL7

    I already have a Radeon X1650, which I'm going to upgrade some other time.

    Now what kind of PSU will I need, I already have a Enermax Liberty 500w (Model: ELT500AWT) and a Antec Basiq Power 5002 (BP500U). Would either of those run it with no problems or should I buy a more powerful PSU? If so I'll probs go for a Arctic Power 700W PSU, bargain at £40.
