A normal wall socket doesn't even provide 1600W :heink: it's only able to do about 1200W. That processor is going to bottleneck the 5970 in that game(in many games it will), but you shouldn't be laggy in that game.

Are you building a rig or is this from an older rig that you're upgrading?

That internet connection is a little high too(except the upload which is puny :lol: ) unless you use that much bandwidth there is almost no point in keeping it :heink: .
 


??? Source please ??? :heink:


From what i know, there is no limit to the amount of wattage that can come from a wall outlet. Just the amount of amps running though the circuit breaker and the voltage that come into the house which will equall the total wattage of the entire electrical circuit.

So for 15-amp breaker, you can't draw more than 12 amps from the circuit for more than three hours, or 1440 watts (12A x 120V).

Sorry, I guess it's a little more than that(with a 15-amp breaker, which might be what he has), I just meant that the socket, which is on only one circuit, will provide that much. So continuous use of the full 1600W might overload the circuit he's on, thus cutting off the power to his comp.

Its dependant on the actual outlet itself. Most are wired to a 20a breaker, some to 15a, but unless its an isolated/dedicated circuit, like in your kitchen, it will be shared by several other plugs. Wall plugs come in 10, 15, and 20a models (15 being the most common) and typically will melt and perhaps start a fire if overheated for too long.
