GTX480

For instance if i were to buy a 1000w, wouldnt it use what it needed? Or would it just be dangerously overflowing with power?

Also some pics here, as the CPU wasnt ordered correctly ( my fault ^_^ ) I had to stop at that and just add other bits and bobs that were around. None of the wiring is done as right now, and im still looking around for tutorials or something on how exactly to do it. It all looks like spaghetti junction to me.

Oh and for that last picture involving RAM placement, i read the manual and it said for 2 or Dual ram sticks whatever use that setup.

^^ there you go. 750 for adding a second in the future.

post up some pictures of the build

That PSU might do 480 SLI at stock clocks, don't expect it to last long with overclocked 480 SLI though.

id say a decent 850 for SLI.

600 would be fine for a single card.


Maacck, the PSU will only supply the power that is needed, if the pc is only using 200W and you have a 1000W PSU, then the psu will only be using 200W.

the wattage is basically what the PSU is rated to goto, ie the maximum

No. Overload is when the system is pulling more power than the PSU can provide (i.e. system power consumption 500W on a 450W PSU), not the other way round. Having a higher capable PSU simply mean the system can draw from little power to up to the rated wattage safely without problem.

Alrighty then, I think this thread has served its purpose

Blimey the Asus 480GTX has shot up, it was £15 cheaper when I bought it last week.
