Another PSU question

[randomhero92]

Hello,

This is my current build.

MSI H57M-ED65 MOBO
Intel Core i5 760
WESTERN DIGITAL 500GB HDD
LG 22X DVD BURNER
COOLER MASTER TX3 CPU COOLER
Thermaltake Armor A90 Gaming Mid Tower
Antec EarthWatts EA750 PSU
Corsair 8GB DDR3 1600 RAM


I plan on acquiring EVGA GeForce GTS 450 1 GB. I know the manufacturer website says that a minimum of 400W is requirement of 1 of them. I might also even buy another one of the GTS 450 for SLI.

My question is whether or not 750 Watts enough if I get 2 GTS 450's for SLI?

It is more than enough! that system would run with 2x GTS450 on a quality 500-550watt PSU

Just a question, are you sure that board supports SLI.?

 

[rolli59]

Not according to MSI http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=170&cat3_no=&prod_no=1968

For H55, even some boards support SLI, the PCI-E working model is X16 + X4.

Hmmm I could have sworn that it said supported SLI. I guess I read it wrong.

In that case is it, I guess ill just stick to one GTS 450. Thanks fellas.

The board supports crossfire and HD5750 is similar in performance, HD5770 more powerful and both cards are in the same price range as GTS250. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150447 $125 after MIR

I meant to write GTS450 in the post above.
