Hi,
so I've seen some other threads regarding PSUs and this model. I've seen the number "at least 36A on the 12V rail" thrown around but I fear that my setup would be cutting it rather close. So my questions are would this setup work and if not would I risk damaging components by trying?
PSU Thermaltake Litepower 500W
Mobo MSI P55-CD53
CPU Intel Core i7-860
8GB RAM (4x2GB-1333)
HDDS WD 1TB SAT2 WD10EADS
Samsung 1TB SAT2 HD103UJ
Also I am well aware of impending Kepler announcements but this GPU fits my needs quite nicely and would replace a GTX 260.
I am not particularly worried about that but do you think that my CPU might bottleneck the GPU to a significant degree?
This is the model I am considering btw.
edit: fyi as of yet everthing is running on stock clock. Before overclocking I would certainly get a new PSU, I am only considering this as a temporary setup until I upgrade mobo,cpu and ram
