One final hurdle is Power! Im not too sure if 600w would be enough to accomodate this setup;

- i5 750
- Gigabyte GA-P55-UD3
- Ripjaw 4gb (2x 2gb)
- Corsair H50 Water CPU Cooler
- Asus Radeon 5850

I'm looking at the OCZ StealthXStream range; 700w.
Would 600w be enough for this system (with the possibilty of more coolers/fans/fan controller at a later date) ? Or should I go with the 700w version?

Thanks, Rhys

The BeQuiet Striaght Power Pro 650W was around that price. Still is on some sites...

Can't find it anywhere for that price :(

Antec premium 650w is much cheaper here on ocuk than other competitors, and it's their top line product.
It comes with the 2 6pin pci-e connectors you need.

Thank you Showboat.
A good looking PSU, does it really warrant spending the £90 on a 650w psu?

My main concern is is there enough power for future upgrade's? More cooling mainly...

Thanks for all the help!

CF?

I've just realised that I need 2x 6pin PCI-E power connections for the Radeon 5850... The OCZ only has 1x6pin and 1x8pin.. Shoot..
(Am I right?)

What else could I be looking at? :confused: :rolleyes:

On that psu the 8 pin splits off to make another 6 pin. I have this psu and need 2 6 pins for a 4870.

I can highly recommend this psu as i haven't had any probs and its supported by a great warranty.
