If you plan to crossfire the 7950 in the future i would get at least a 750w psu.

Personally i would find a way to get a wired connection to my PC rather than use wireless, powerline are a good alternative but obviously cost a little more. Sort of personal preference though.

Yeah when I can get a wired connection I will, but as it is I can't.

£170 on ram? :eek:

Sharlaw · 2 Jun 2013 at 14:44

Thought if I was spending this much, I should do it properly. Plus they're so pretty.

arknor · 2 Jun 2013 at 14:50

aren't the xfx psu's made by seasonic anyway and they are a fair bit cheaper?

Sharlaw · 2 Jun 2013 at 14:53

Oh that might be a good shout, I'll take a look. As long as they're fully modular.

Sharlaw · 2 Jun 2013 at 18:49

Nice call on the PSU, Swapped it for the:

XFX 750W XXX Edition Modular '80 Plus Silver' saved a few quid there. Thanks
