PSU for an HD 7870
Last response: in Components
What would be a good budget (i.e. not too cheap but not too expensive) PSU for a Radeon HD7870 card
Currently I am running:
-i7 3770 @ 3.4 Ghz
-8 Gig Ram
-1 SSD (Boot)
-1 7200 RPM Drive (programs and games)
-1 5400 Green drive (movies, music etc...)
-nVidia GTX 220
-550 W BFG PSU
-DVD-R Combo Drive
Essentially I want to upgrade the card and I know I need to upgrade the PSU as I only get 18 A on the 12 V rail and I believe the 7870 needs 24 A on the 12 V rail. But I have enough Wattage with the 550 just not enough current. Whats the best PSU that would make sense for my setup.
