Hi there dudes,
Im getting my new rig soon but i wanted to know if i have an adequate PSU (its currently a 550w but its unbranded and about 2 years old) and if i do need a new PSU could you guys reccomend one
Athlon 64 x2 3800+
Asrock 939SLI32-eSATA2
2 x 1Gb OcUK RAM
250 gb WD SATA Caviar SE
120 Seagate (ATA)
7600/7900 GT (depending on offers and prices)
an MSi USB HDTV freeview dongle
(and occasionaly my sony hdd walkman )
the reason i ask this is because i dont wanna get the new system and then have it die because the PSU cant handle it (bear in mind i might go SLi at some point
EDIT : also considering that my current PSU is an old one, does this mean it will not work considering ew PCI-E cards require a different power connector (or am i being a noobie
)
thanks in advance
