Could a 650W handle this?

Smoogels · 8 May 2012 at 21:02

Hi.

Just a quick question I'm going to throw out there. Can a 650W Corsair PSU handle my build?

To quickly list its:
A quadcore 3.3GHz
High end motherboard
1TB HDD (will get a SSD soon)
HD 6850 graphic card
7:1 Surround sound speakers (box says 140W)
24" Mointer and possibly a second one in the future
A lot of usb devices connected

I have been using them calculators and that but it don't seem that reliable.

Thanks in advance

Yes it can, it can even handle a second 6850 in Crossfire mode if your board supports it.

Thanks, has lifted a huge weight off my shoulders. Thanks again for constantly replying - pretty HQ member here^^ :cool:

However, can anyone else confirm this before I click the buy button? It just seems like it would struggle because of so many things going on.

what stulid says u can take as gospel, usually

Thanks for conferming. I was sort of concerned about it since 650W seems rather 'low' for so many things drawing power from it.

thank you both

I'll add that I run an i5 2500k OC'd to 4.4, a 6850, Xonar soundcard, 4 fans and 2 1TB drives on a 550w PSU so you should be fine.

A high quality unit like that corsair will be fine.
