hey guys,

ive just been looking on www.anandtech.com at power usage of the GTX 480 and the HD5870 and my gosh that's a lot more power !!!

so my questions are

1. how much more power do you need for CPU and RAM overclocking ???
2. how much more power do you need for overclocking a GTX 480 ???

also i am currently settling to the antec 650w truepower new mobular or have i got to step up abit for the overclocking ???

cheers guys

psu is fine, it won't be enough for sli GTX480/580 but everything else is ok, including all single cards.

and of you look at the test system used in anandtech reviews, it is overclocked.

If you were looking at power consumption figures in Anandtech GPU Bench - note they are total system power values - not just the GPU.
