If it's a decent branded make and it's not in it's twilight years - it should power that setup fine.

EDIT: If it's the one in your sig you'll have no problems at all!

YES - Will use similar power as mine check my results below.

Using a Plug-in Power & Energy Monitor or similar device.

idle = 235W

load = 332W to 342W (Using Prime95 Blend)

load = 420W to 449W (Using Crysis Benchmark)

The results can be misleading because the Dell 2407WFP 24" A04 uses 110W off it's own socket, also modem runs off it's own socket, probally uses about 5W max will check later.

I'll re-run the test tommorow with just the PC connected to the Plug-in Power & Energy Monitor.

Seasonic M12D SS-850W Mod PSU :trophy:
192W / 221W = 87.9% Efficiency (Cold Load Result)
355W / 404W = 87.9% Efficiency (Hot Load Result)
523W / 599W = 87.3% Efficiency (Hot Load Result)
