Will my PC do any good?

[Friznutz]

I am wondering if the computer will.... Overheat. Not have enough power (for some reason). Bottleneck. Be slow. Have a lot of issues. Or not be able to run all games at max settings (I am o.k at 720p. I am not picky at all.)
I plan on having this computer till I can barely run modern games at 30+ fps (yes. I really care that much,((Sarcastic if you don't get it)) )

I was just mostly wondering if this stuff will be bottlenecked at all?

No sure why you are concerned with over-heating as long as you case has normal airflow thru it.

You can determine the PSU viability from the info. below.

As far as PSUs are concerned, be informed. Before you buy any PSU read accurate, objective PSU reviews at reputable sites such as www.jonnyguru.com or www.hardwaresecrets.com on the EXACT model PSU that you are interested in as some brands have good and poor quality PSUs.

You can also get an accurate rating of how much PSU power is required for your current or future system at the PSU calculator link below. Once you know the total PSU watts required then you need to confirm that the 12v rail has enough amps. to support your Vid card(s) and the rest of the PC system.

There are several websites that show the Vid card power consumption in watts. Divide the watts by 12 to determine the amps. required on the 12v rail(s). Add 15 amps for the rest of the PC on the 12v rail and you now know the Minimum total 12v rail amps required under full load. It's best to have at least 5-10 amps. reserve on the 12v rail available under full load so the PSU is not loaded to 100%.

It's also worth noting that people often misunderstand the 80% power rating. This is a rating of the PSU's energy efficiency not it's output. 80% plus PSUs use less grid power to produce the same PC power. If it's 80% Bronze, Silver or Gold the cost savings on electricity is pretty small between Bronze, Silver and Gold unless you are paying very high rates for electricity so any 80% rated quality PSU is fine even if not Gold. For those who leave their PC on 24/7 a quality 80% PSU is a good investment.

Thanks a ton for this information.

The 12v rail has 56amps and is plenty for my (max) 256w video card.
The thing is though. I can't Crossfire really well on this board, with only one x16 pci.
But it DOES say it will support PCI-E 3.0 when it comes out. So I am thinking... With x8 bottleneck my 6950 or not? Because obviously the x16 will not .

I only choose this PSU because it is the cheapest 750w modular one I could find. And I REALLY want that. I cant stand the all the crap in my current computer.


Oh and I would really like to know my life expectancy on this thing. I had a PC that lasted 8 years on not so good hardware. And I hear a lot of people saying their computers only last 3-5 years.
I plan on having this PC for at least 3 years and most likely upgrading in 4.
