PSU question

[Nivea]

I have a OCZ ModXStream Pro 600w and was wondering if that can power two Sapphire 5850's, otherwise would a Antec True Power New 650W be a good replacement, thanks.

The ModX would probably handle it but depends on the rest of your setup, OC etc.

You would also need to use 2 pci-e adapters as the ModX only comes with 2 and you will need 2 for each card.

I ran 2 GTX460's on my ModX700w and that was fine, until it blew up.

Ideally I'd be looking at a decent 650w+ unit with 4xpci-e cables, any of these would do ya.

Personally I'd go with the Corsair unless money is no object then the Silverstone.

TP new 650 is a good PSU like its big sister http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story4&reid=140

The rest of the system is probably going to be a Phenom II 955-975, 8GB Ram, 3 HDD's for now, sound card, network card, case fans etc. The two 5850's would be for the future I'm getting one for now, I'm getting a Cooler Master Elite 460w PSU for another system, but I was going to get the antec 650w PSU if I needed it for the future two 5850's and migrate my Zalman PSU (another system's PSU) over and migrate my OCZ 600W PSU over to that system, thanks for the replies.

Your going to need the Antec 650w.

Yep! the TPN-650W is a good reliable unit and affordable.
