New PSU

Dajama · 15 Sep 2009 at 21:19

Hi all

I'm just about to buy a Ati 4890 and I think its best if I update my PSU at the same time.

I'm thinking of going with the Antec true power new 750w

My question is will this be up to the job if, in the future, I add a 2nd 4890?
(I'm trying to keep the cost down)

Cheers

Dave

Hello, yeah 750w will be well enough, even for the extra 4890, hope this helps

You can use this to calculate how much power you need, according to Antec:

not having a go or anything just it happens more often then i think it should.
general hardware that's where most would people put it.

and psu wise 750w would be plenty and corsair seems to be the best brand out at the mo'

The hx series of psu are good 650w would be enough too!!

I went for the Corsair TX 750 and the Power Colour 4890 pcs+ in the end

Thanks
