Is this PSU okay?

cooper795 · 13 Apr 2011 at 20:12

I'm going to be buying parts for a new system on monday, including an i5 2500k and 2 5850's in Crossfire, and was wondering whether the PSU in this bundle will be good enough to power it?

I know very little about PSU's, so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Edit: Whoopsie got SLI and Crossfire mixed up... schoolboy error.

I had a quick look at some reviews for you.

yep that psu will be fine with plenty of power to spare.

I believe the PSU is a bit on the average side, in terms of power 750w will be more than enough, my system below pulled 430w ~ from the mains with 2 5850 in Crossfire.

Some other PSU below:

A bit so, so. Seems to perform more like a 600W PSU.

If you treat it as a 600W PSU it's a bit lightweight for Crossfire 5850's.
