I will start off with my build:

http://gyazo.com/9de0d66f378fa5892455a666e11fcf20

The Gigabyte Radeon 7970 Ghz Edition says it needs a minimum of 600w PSU, and my 600w PSU actually draws 512W From the 12V Rail.

So will there be enough headroom? I'm guessing total power consumption full load would be 440W? Or should I change the PSU to this http://pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=13567

and will it be able to connect to everything?

So you decide, is that 600w PSU Suffice and has enough headroom for overclocking? Or is it going to be at a high load and will be better paying an extra $20 for a PSU That will allow 576W of usage.

Thank's in advance. :pt1cable:

The Silverstone you linked is an average unit that has recently been replaced with a later and better model. The Seasonic is much better. If you want something cheaper and still great quality on that site look at the Antec HCG-620

Ok I took a look at that, the modular version is $5 more than the silverstone strider so thats nice, but should I just stick with the silverstone strider 600w? I heard good reviews about it, but my only concern is, is the 504w from the 12V Rail enough for my system? And is it possible if you could tell me roughly how much my system would be using?

Thank's in advance. :wahoo:
