I'm in the process of upgrading my system and I'm hoping I dont need a new PSU. I currently have a Corsair HX620 modular supply.
The system in the end will be a 5850 and a Core i5 @4.0 (one of the OCuk bundle deals). I only run a single Samsung F3 1TB drive.
I ask because the alredy 5850 has a slight whistling issue in certain games, most notably STALKER in the main menus. Some posts suggest this could be a PSU issue, but I think the Corsair is a good make, and others seem to think its just a capacitor burn in issue?
Will the i5 be using less juice than the E6600 I have at the moment?
And then assuming I dont go Crossfire for a few months, am I okay on the PSU front for now when I upgrade next weekend?
