[helloshayan]

hello,

i cant decide on psu for my first rig, here are the specs

amd phenom 955
m4a88td-m-evo
crosair 6gb ddr3 @ 1600mhz
asus hd 5970

coolermaster gx 750w ????????


can this psu run fine with hd 5970??

and secondly can some1 confirm for these parts that there will not be any compatibility issues.

Thanks in advance :]

I'd get a Corsair HX850 or HX750.

You won't hit 600W even if you overclock. I do recommend modular power supplies though. Makes things look much more neat and clean.

OC'd 5970 will hit 400W, and an OC'd phenom would use 150 at least.

Can some 1 send me links of a psu under £90/$130 that will support hd 5970.
or names will do

thanks

I'd look at the Ultra X 4 PSU 850 or 1050 !!! can find them and Video reviews at Tigerdirect.com

Yes, that one will be just fine.

I realize it's better to use 850 watt or higher to unleash HD 5970 power

Get a minimum of a quality 650watt PSU for non-OCed 5970.

Get a minimum of a quality 750watt PSU if you plan to OC a 5970.
