Will a 550w run my system?

Curtis1234 · Jun 30, 2013

Future specs:
AMD fx 8350
Asus m5a78l usb3
8gb ram ddr3
Any brand of the hd 7950
1tb hdd
(maybe) an ssd

Depends on the specific model of that 550w PSU. Anyway, the motherboard you picked is a bit bad to go with a FX8350. Better get a Gigabyte 78lmt-usb3 instead due to its better cooling system.

I have a CIT brand. Should i get a new one?

Yes, you really should. Get a PSU in tier3 or higher in this list: http://www.eggxpert.com/forums/thread/323050.aspx

Hi - A quality 550w unit is more than sufficient to power that system
with an hd7950. The link below is an excellent deal on a quality 550w PSU:

Wow amazing. Thanks. I am guessing XFX are a good brand then? Then, I will probably get an XFX 7950.
And can someone finally answer, will the phenom ii x4 965 bottleneck the 7950? Lots of people keep saying yes and no.

Dark Lord of Tech · Jul 1, 2013

XFX is made by Seasonic and therefore great units.

Curtis1234 · Jul 1, 2013

WOW a 7950 for £219 Wow yes. http://www.dabs.com/products/xfx-amd-radeon-7950-hd-800mhz-3gb-pci-express-3-0-hdmi-8B07.html?src=2
