Hi everyone, after using these forums for great answers before I built my first PC I would now like to pose my first question,
After completing my gaming rig about 5 months ago of a:
-Core I7 2600 3.4GHz stock
-P8P67 Evo
-Arctic pro 850W- http://www.ebuyer.com/229935-arctic-power-pro-850w-modular-14cm-fan-psu-4x-pci-e-8x-arctic-pro-850w-cm
-Sapphire Radeon hd 6870 - http://www.ebuyer.com/284121-sapphire-hd-6870-1gb-gddr5-dual-dvi-dual-mini-displayport-hdmi-pci-e-11179-17-20g
-8GB DDR3 Corsair Vengeance
-1 Tb HDD/ 60GB SSD and about 7 fans as a cooling method
I was wishing to crossfire the 6870 graphics card into my system so I was ready for some of the newer games this year but was unsure as to weather my current PSU would be OK to power 2 of them because they do take 2 power connectors, I have also never been to sure on what all this 12v rail stuff is about, but I do know the PSU supports crossfire. It would be of great help if anyone could enlighten me...
