Hello everyone.

Recycling some used parts to build a system for some moderate gaming, this is what I have:

AMD Phenom II X6 1075T (stock)
Gigabyte GA890GPA-UD3H Rev 2.1
Kingston Hyper-X 8GB X 2
Sapphire HD 6950 2GB
1 HDD
1 DVD drive

Absolutely no overclocking whatsoever. Will the Coolermaster Real Power M520 do the job for this setup? Assuming it's fine, I also have a spare 6950 - is Crossfire advisable? Fine just using one card though...

Thanks in advance.

You may be OK with one, but while Cooler Master sells a few really excellent power supplies, this is not one of them - that's a bottom-of-the-barrel one and I would not want to put much of a load on it if it can be helped.

Thanks. I'll play it safe and use it for something more basic.

I presume for my specs, a solid 750W would be good enough?
