850 or 1000

Swagger187 · 18 Jan 2015 at 12:11

Hi all,

Quick overview. I am currently running the spec in my sig. However in the coming months I might fee the need to get another 970 FTW. I am running a 850 watt PSU as things stand. Just looking on the web etc I fee this should be adequate to power two 970 FTW. I won't be overclocking the cards but I may boost the CPU to 4.2 or something round there.

The question is, will my 850 be able to handle this fine or would a 1000 be a "safer" bet.

Many thanks

Seasonic was great and will soon be getting rehomed. It was incompatible with the CableMod cables and the standard cables were just nasty. So far so good but early days. Although at £170 quid I expect a good product otherwise it would be going back, simples
