Im using a PSU with +12V1@22A and +12V2@22A

Is this enough for my PC:
CPU:Intel Core i7-920, 2.66 GHz
Motherboard: ASUS P6T Deluxe V2
RAM: 3x Corsair DDR3 1333 2.00GB
3x Hard drives
Display:plan to have ASUS 280x Matrix P./280x DC2T/Gigabyte 280x

If yes, how about a little bit overclocking on the display card without touching the voltage?

Im not sure about the model.
What Im sure is that it has 600w max output power and it was bought one year ago :S

I think 600W would be OK.

If you're not going to do any extreme OC'ing you should be fine. Just make sure you have sufficient cooling/airflow.

Thank You!
i asked this because I saw chart about the power consume of 280x is about 270W (full load). I wonder if my PSU is enough for that.

I think under load you should still be OK but if you're planning on getting a 280x maybe consider upping your PSU?

I haven't done much reading on the new GPU's from AMD but at the moment i'm running a 7970 OC'd and I only have a 550W PSU. That's also with an OC'd i7 CPU.

I saw someone said two rail +12V PSU is not common for a gaming PC so I plan to upgrade my PSU later. However for now, my money limits what i can do :S

I just worry that I can't even play with the new display card. Thanks for your help :)
