Hi,

I've been looking around for a new power supply for my build for some time now and I decided upon the AX760 from Corsair to power my build. I know it has enough wattage to power the machine but I was wondering if with the parts configuration I have, if it'd be pulling too much power on certain Voltages. This is the specification list for my system:

- AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition (C3)
- Gigabyte M720-US3 (Revision 1.0)
- 8GB Corsair ValueSelect DDR2 RAM (might be putting some DDR2 Kingston Hyper X RAM in there soon)
- EVGA GeForce GTX 660 Superclocked
- Samsung 840 Evo SSD
- 5x Western Digital Caviar Blue HDDs
- ASUS Optical Drive
- NZXT Sentry 3 Fan Controller
- 7x Corsair SP120s

I just want to make sure the sure that the power supply is fit for the job as I really don't fancy having any downtime with having to wait to get a better Power Supply if the AX760 isn't powerful enough.

Thanks, Sam.

No such a thing as too much power. Your components will only draw what they need. That is an excellent unit and it's on sale right now. I think it's $110 after rebates making it a good deal for you. The Corsair AX is a rebadged Seasonic Platinum series and it usually is the most expensive of the models based on that platform.

You will have plenty of headroom to add a second card or any future upgrades up to dual GTX 770s.

Don't replace old, obsolete DDR2 with more old, obsolete DDR2. 8GB is fine for almost anything except photo and video editing or running a multiple VM environment. There would be no gains in adding more or going from say DDR2 667 to DDR2 800. You would not even notice and proving it was faster in benchmarks would...

Ah well check out the Seasonic G, X and Platinum models and any XFX ( all XFX made by Seasonic ) and you can get a very good unit cheaper. Corsair likes their name on things and charges for it. Any platinum certified XFX will be a Seasonic Platinum as much as that Corsair is and XFX is generally cheaper for the same exact thing. The real Seasonic Platinums go on sale a few times a year if you aren't in a hurry. I paid $130 for mine but it regularly goes on sale for around $80.
