hello. i need advise to see if i need a more powerful psu. at the mo have a 550WAtt HEC (high-Quality Evolution
Commintment) PSU.
my specs at the moment are:
1X AMD Athlon black edtion 2.7 GHz Processor
1X GigaByte M61PME-S2
1X Maxtor HDD SATA
1X Pioneer IDE Disk drive
1X Nvidia 9800GT
1X Belkin FD9000 Wifi Reciever
My GPU is my main worry. my PSU holds a DualRail 12V. channel 1 is a 18A rail and channel 2 is a 17A rail.
a bloke at CEX told me i need atleast a 750Watt PSU to power a 9600GT PSU. i have a 9800GT so i wonder if my PC is getting fried. my CPU is running Fast with no glag. my GPU i processing crysis Warhead on high like a charm, only at 60*C. i'm 70% i'm alright i just want to feel 100% alright.
also i am going to buy a new SATA Diskdrive next week so i can have two IDE connection Free, so i would like to put two Extra IDE Harddisk to my PC. Will this take it to Far for 550Watts
