[Creepingdeath82]

Will my older silverstone 650watt pci PSU be ok for this rig:

Intel Q6600 quadcore cpu
Nvidia 8800 ultra
ASUS P5W- DH Deluxe
150gig Western Digital Raptor

If you are asking if it will have enough watts, yes. If you are asking if silverstone is a company that makes high quality PSUs, I don't think so.

it should be fine , can u post the specs of your PSU?

 

[Creepingdeath82]

This is the specs will it be ok

Quad +12V rail for superior performance
Dual PCI-E 6pin connectors (SLI ready)
Four Serial ATA connectors
Industrial class components
Support for ATX 12V 2.0 & EPS 12V
Active PFC

Silverstone makes top of the line PSUs, so don't worry about the one posters comments.

Additionally, the 650w PSU is far more than you need.
Upper 400s to Low 500s would be a comfortable number so long as it was a quality PSU such as Corsair/PCPower&Cooling/etc...

Even assuming your PSU has lost some power over the years, it's still more than fine.

Yep... Silverstone is tier 1, good power. - http://www.tomswiki.com/page/Tiered+PSU+Listings?t=anon

That PSU will be fine. Maybe aadamszc has had a sad experience with a Silverstone PSU, I don't know, but in general these PSUs are very well regarded.

Do you already have the 8800 Ultra and the P5W-DH? If not, there are better choices out there, for example 8800GTX and P5N32-E SLI Plus.
