Just wondering what people think......system running :

C2D E6600 @ 3.2GHz (1.45v), 2xGeil Ultra 1GB pc6400 @ 890MHz/4-4-4-12 (2.1v), x1900XT Crossfire setup, 2 x SATAII HDDs, 2 x DVD writer, 1 x Floppy, Antec P180 case (with 4 x 12cm fan) and ususally about 4/5 USB thingies plugged in......

Ran this lot through a PSU calculator and it suggested I may actually need circa. 623w :eek: with Crossfire and OC'd CPU :confused:

Would it be a good move to go for a more powerful PSU ? If so, any suggestions ?

no chance with crossfire since it only comes with 1 pci e connecetor
the psu aint even SLI certified never mind crossfire lol
 
Thanks for the replies......seems to run OK, but I am aware that it is perhaps close to the limits.......what would be a suitable replacement ?
