Okay Guyz, i need your opinions...
im the amateur around here...
this is my spec :
4+2 GB Corsair PC8500 DDR2 Dual-Channel (4dimms, 2-2GB & 1-1GB)
Intel Core2Duo E8400 3.0GHz FSB 1333
2 Chassis fan thermaltake 8cm Blue LED
Seagate 320GB sata2
Seagate 40GB ATA
ASUS DVD-RW Sata 20x
Tagan Piperock BZ-600W (12V @ 48A, 6-pin and 8-pin available)
ASUS P5Q Mobo

i know that GTX 295 is not launched yet, but im planning to buy it
when that monster GPU has been launched to the market.

Would that 600W Tagan PSU strong enough to run a gtx 295 (not SLI) ?
or should i buy a stronger one ?

Thanks for your opinions... :wahoo:

You contradict your own question?

If it has not been released how can we tell you?

no, im not contradicting my question...
as you can see in some reviews site, gtx 295 consumes 289W.
with a 6-pin and 8-pin.
so in estimation.....do you think my Tagan 600W can handle it ?

the 600w PSU should be sufficient for what u r runnin (including the Amp's), although if u want to be on the safe side or want a second card later, then upgrade,

as for the one card, 600w should be fine, for now (as it dont use any more than the 4870x2).

I'm going to be buying a GTX295 in a few days when they come out and, also wondering about a PSU upgrade.

I will almost definetly not be going SLI, and am using a 600W power supply from FSP.
