Hi guys,

I checked outervision and the PSU draw is about 20-25 watt too high.

Anyone know if its much of a problem? i read some gpu cards exaggerate their usage.

cpu = AMD A10-7850K Boxed
mobo = AsRock FM2A68M-HD+
HDD = 1
WIFI PCI = 1
Kingston HyperX Savage HX324C11SR/8
LG GH24NSC0 Zwart
Antec VP450P

possible addition = Club 3D Radeon HD 7970 royalQueen

Is this too risky?

A 550 watts PSU is recommended for the HD 7970. Your PSU would be working under heavily load consistently, which might shorten the life-span of the PSU. On paper though it will work. Why not look for newer/more efficient GPU's?

I can buy one for my GF (which doesnt want to pay much) for 39 euros. Has a little cooling problem though, (one fan isnt working at normal speeds, untill it hits 65 degrees, so thats why its cheap).

So i was looking at the possibilities. She wants to play BF 1 :).
