Putting together a new build on Tuesday and was wondering if my current 650w PSU will be enough? Spec as follows:

i5 2500k
Asus P8P67 LE
Crossfire HD 6870's
1x DVD drive
1x SSD
3x HDD

Thanks :)
 
Just opened up my case to check what the PSU was (Been years since I put it in there), turns out it isn't 650w, it's 500w and just a cheapo. Forgot that I'd replaced my 650 about 2 years ago!

Damn, more overdraft attack I reckon :(

What PSU would people recommend for up to £60'ish ?

Free MW3 is very attractive, think the PSU will be ok with that spec?

Its ok, there is a review at jonnyguru say its ok, but the Seasonic made Antec is certainly going to be the "better PSU".

The one issue with the OCZ is that it only has two PCI-E connectors while the Antec has four (two per card) this means you will have to use molex to PCI-E adapters (two of).

Aah didn't see that with the connectors, the fact it's modular is good too, think I'll go with that one since I'll be wanting to tidy up my cables.

Thanks for the help :)
 
Hmm my order is going to be shipped tomorrow, anyway to get the mobo changed on that order?

It's from ocuk
