Hey Guys

Well I have an OCZ 850W Gamexstream psu and I have the hardware listed in my sig. I was wondering if i need an upgrade and if so which powersupply would you guys recomend?

Thanks in advance.

PSU is fine. keep it.

you got so much wattage in reserve with that psu it will last years, and loads of upgrades to come.

I was just curious as i am running the gtx460s at 850/1700 i think so i dont want too much stress on the psu.

From Anandtech, using a i7 socket 1366 system that uses more watts than Sandybridge.

427watts while 3D gaming.

you bought that psu with headroom and the future in mind and its paying off.
