New PSU

Hello there!

I was thinking of picking up a cheap HD6950 and running it in CrossFire to my own but realised I might not have enough juice. Will a 700W PSU be enough?

Possibly. 800w would be better

Quote stole from ted's link:

•A second card requires you to add another ~160 Watts. You need a 650+ Watt power supply unit and if you use it in a high-end system a 800+ to a KiloWatt is recommended especially if you plan on any overclocking.

The PSU choice depends on your budget though?

I'd rather not buy one tbh, but if it's a worthwhile investment I don't mind too much.

Is this a good one at all?

Or should I spend more and get something like the Corsair with a 7-year warranty?

What is your current PSU?

It's one of OCZ 700W I think

Well, anywhere between £100-£150 I'd say.
