Do I need a bigger PSU?

 

[BreadWhistle]

Eh, I'd get a SeaSonic M12II 620 . If you still don't feel safe about your wattage, get this Corsair TX650 V2 650W

drop the i7 and 16gb ram to i5 3570k and 8gb ram 1600mhz unless you are doing video editing and such. The PSU is fine but like the bread whistle said, you could go for the seasonic or the corsair one.

PSU is fine. You could Crossfire your GPU and overclock your CPU and you'd still have enough power.

OK cool so if i oc my cpu and gfx ill be good? and for the editing i will be, also i will be compiling things as big as linux kernals.

PSU is fine. You could Crossfire your GPU and overclock your CPU and you'd still have enough power.

Just to be safe I would get a slightly bigger psu like 6-800W and because you lose efficiency because you might be near 70-80% load when gaming.

 

[lordxarus]

Could you link me to a 700w PSu? That isnt to much money?

 

[ttcboy]

For the current setup, u will need around 400W at max.

If you don't plan to cross fire the card in future, the current PSU is just fine.

 

[lordxarus]

Could you just link me one and I could think about it

 

[completelyrandomname]

IF and only IF you are going to crossfire in the future then get this seasonic psu, 750 at $100 is a STEAL(at least it is here in Canada). If you are not going to crossfire then stick with your current power supply. It is more than enough.

sorry forgot to post link haha http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151087

Hmmm I need to have the build under 1200 so I mean I should be fine right I really don't want to break stuff when I oc I mean I will probably just OC the CPU and the gfx card.

 

[BreadWhistle]

^ Actually, he could get this 750W PSU for $59.99 after rebates

[lordxarus]

Never mind the CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX650 V2 650W ATX12V is the same price

 

[lordxarus]

Sweet Bread thanks

 

[lordxarus]

Also how are the mail in rebates for Newegg and also when I buy from NCIX do I still get the same warranty from the manufacturer?

No prob. Like Pingy and ttcboy said, you really don't need all that power, as your system draws around 400W (Around 440 w monitor) I'm building a 3470 system that draws around 350W, and it draws about 360W with no overclocking, and I have a 550W PSU for it. It would only make sense that with the more powerful parts you are using, that you have upwards of a 600W PSU.

 

[lordxarus]

The GFX is not available at NCIX do you think that it will go on sale on newegg on black friday or cyber monday? Also when do you think the right time to buy is?

 

[BreadWhistle]

On Newegg, most of the 7970's aren't on sale, but there are some good deals.

This Sapphire 7970 is $379 after rebates

[lordxarus]

Am i sacrificing anything getting that over the one I have now?

 

[lordxarus]

The clock speed is slower will that have an effect on performance?

 

[BreadWhistle]

Meh, you could overclock yourself for free. You won't notice the difference much anyways even if you didn't overclock the Sapphire one. Just download the Sapphire TriXX software and easily clock to 1100MHz

 

[lordxarus]

Coolio

OCZ PSU? You're taking a chance. That particular model is made by Highpower, not a good brand.
