520w enough?

Terrier_Jimlad · 27 Jan 2010 at 08:05

Got a Corsair HX520w PSU at the moment powering:

Q9650 @ stock
EP45-DS3P
4GB OCZ Gold
64GB SSD
2 x Sammy F1's
HD5850 XXX @ stock

But tomorrow will be swapping for:

i5 750 @ 4.0GHz
GA-P55-UD5
Cosair XMS3 4GB
64GB SSD
2 x Sammy F1's
HD5850 XXX @ stock

Will the HX520 be ok powering this lot? I'm looking to get an OCZ ModXstream 750w soon, but not yet. Will I be ok until then?

I'm using a 480W Tagan to power mine (in sig) and I have absolutely no issues. You should have no problems at all.

It will be fine.

PC in my sig idles at 175W, gaming load at 280w.

You could save your money and just stick with that Corsair really since the OCZ won't run the system any better and would be a downgrade in terms of the quality of the supply.

Agree with others, PSU more than enough
