-=* How much power will i draw*=-

[arekgreenman888]

Hi,

How do I know if my psu is enough good or I need more or is there a way to determin power drawing before buying components?

Here will be my sys specs:

2500K @ 4.6GHz // Corsair XMS3 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit // ASRock Extreme4 Gen3
MSI GTX 570 TwinFrozr III // Intel 120GB G2 SSD // Cooler Master Silent Pro Modular 850W '80 Plus Bronze' // d 14 //haf x

is 850 w enough. Bear in mind i shall be adding another 570gtx in 2 years time when current one is not enough SLI.

thanks

Eric

Your PSU will be plenty (and for SLI), my system in my sig pulls around 430w at full load from the mains.

Have a look at review sites for GPU'S they tend to show power usage for the whole system majority of the time and use high end cpus.
