Enough power?

Cookeh · 7 Feb 2010 at 20:15

Will a 460/480W psu (one that comes standard with CM Elite 333 on a competitor site) be enough to power a Phenom II X2, and a HD5750 / HD5770?

It should be, both those GPUs draw very little power, even under full load. Find out what make of PSU it is and what the amps are, because it will come down to how well made the PSU is, not just the number of Watts.

Here is a review of the PSU:

Its actual rating is around 430W.

I've just finished a build for someone using a Corsair CX 400W ATX Power Supply (CMPSU-400CXUK) [CMPSU-400CXUK] with the sapphire vapor-x 5770 and an x2 550be and the power supply doesn't even struggle so I would have thought you would be ok.
