Hi,
I just bought a used 9800GX2 and before I put it in my rig, I wanted to get some advice on whether I need to upgrade my PSU. I have an Antec EA650, running a Phenom X4 940 overclocked to 3875, 2 DDR2 6400 memory chips @ 840mhz, 4 HDDs, and 7 total cooling fans. Board is 790X-UD4P F8, and I'm running Windows 7.
From what I've gathered in studying the issue, I think I will be OK, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. If I don't need to worry about this one, I won't, but if it's an iffy thing, I was thinking of ordering one of these, since it'd be nice to go modular, at the same time, but only if really necessary. Any thoughts? Thank you,
