Alright,so my PSU is only 230V,
im planning to use the default DVI and VGA slots at the same time.
[mobo:F2A55M-DS2]

(some expert[*or at least thats what their name plate says] say that it requires a higher PSU to run a dual display)

so before i decide on what to buy first.i just want to ask if it really is true.
or my PSU is good enough to do the task.

Thank you!

No. It doesn't use any of the PC's power. It plugs into the wall seperately.

im guessing your from the UK since your running 230v, That's the voltage it takes to power the PSU. We need to know the wattage the PSU gives off.

Running Dual displays depends more on your video card and what your are wanting to do. If its internet/office work then you don't need much to do that. If your wanting to game then that's another ball of wax.


So a little more info would be nice, system specs and what you plan to do on your computer and with said dual monitors.
