PSU check

[id_wright]

Hi there,
Just wanted to check that the Corsair HX 520W PSU would be powerful enough to run the following:

AMD Athlon X2 6000+ at stock
Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro
Abit KN9S Motherboard
4x1Gb DDR2 PC-6400 RAM
Asus GeForce GTX 260 896MB graphics card
2x 160Gb SATA-II HDD as Raid 1 array
Third disk in future
DVD rewriter
Compro VideoMate Vista T500F TV tuner
Creative Audigy LS
2x120mm case fans

The Corsair website reckons 520W is fine, but the Be Quiet website recommended 750W!
Cheers!

The Corsair will be fine. (The BeQuiet calculator is on steroids - ignore it.)

Ignor the Be Quiet calculator, my I7 setup with a 4870x2 only pulls 530w ~

The 520w Corsair will be fine.

RJC, is that after taking into consideration the PSU's efficiency?
