Power supply enough?

[Ohnoezfail]

Right now I can pick up a 8800gtx 2nd hand for about £30, same model as mine, but I'm unsure about the power requirements and so on, right now I currently have:

Gigabyte N650SLI-DS4L lga 775
4GB DDR2 800mhz
Q6600 (stock)
500GB hdd + dvd rom
8800gtx x1
Antec 900
650w power supply


I'll need some molex to 6-pin connectors, but apart from that, is it going to be enough or is it a bad idea?

 

[whipgeez]

650w is more than enough for that

 

[Ohnoezfail]

with the 2nd 8800gtx too?

 

[whipgeez]

according to this then yes

What model is the PSU?

 

[Ohnoezfail]

Can't find any documentation about the model or make, but it's 650w, I remember that much.

 

[LiamJ]

In that case, it's probably not enough. I'd be looking at a decent brand 600-700W PSU for those specs.

Ah, it's a huntkey psu!

Have you thought about overclocking your cpu? If you do, bear in mind a fraction more juice will be required.

 

[Ohnoezfail]

Yeah but I have a stock cooler and I have heard the 650i chipset isn't a good clocker, esp for quads, and I wouldn't quite know what I would be doing anyway with all that stuff.

 

[arc@css]

Fair enough.

I wouldn't be so keen with a huntkey psu for that, i've had 3 go pop before I changed for an xfx psu
