Help to decide on PSU

[meodowla]

I'm going to buy a PSU from CoolerMaster.
Now i have two choices. Both have same price. Can't decide from each other. Please help.

1) CoolerMaster Silent Pro M600
2) CoolerMaster Real Power Pro 650W

My computer specification:
AMD Athlon64 X2 6000+ 3GHz (OverClocked to 3.3GHz)
ASUS M3N H/HDMI motherboard
Corsair XMS2 2x2GB DDR2 800MHz (Dual Channel- Now at 825MHz)
MSI HD4850 512MB at stock speed
2 DVD Writers
160GB WD HDD
1 Floppy Drive
All USB port at usage

Please help !

A single 4850 video card uses about 110 watts and 10 amps at full load. The rest of your system does not use a lot of power either.

I am leaning toward the Silent Pro 600 with a single 12 volt rail rated at 50 amps.

I'm planning for a mobo upgrade(to that support CF)and get a HD4850X2(soon). Then, is it possible to work with 'Silent Pro 600'??

the 4850x2 requires a 550w PSU or greater, not sure about the required amps over the +12v rail though.

Yes.

Edit: 4850x2 does not require a CF mobo.

+1 for what theAnimal said. You'll be fine with the Silent Pro 600.

 

[meodowla]

Yes.

I do have a HD4850 now. And with additional HD4850X2 on CF board gives Tri-Fire. Thats why i intend to go for a CF board.
I would like to know if 'Silent Pro 600' would be enough for that situation..

Yes, but you will require a Molex to PCIe adapter.

My advice is to sell your current card and just use the 4850x2. Three cards do not scale well, and are unnecessary unless you use a resolution over 1920x1200.

Thanks for the reply.. I would go with your opinion..

Silent Pro 600 would be the best bet.
