PSU?

[caithomas44]

what would people reccomend for use with a striker extreme, quad 6660 cpu, 4gb pc8500 and dual 8800gt's?

thought my Hyper 580watt power supply (rippped off by pcworld as i wanted it now and then due to ordering a faulty one offline) would work but it does not have enough sli power connections for the 2 cards? any ideas? i know there is a nice killer 1000w unit on ocuk but ideally i dont want to spend 140 quid....

what sort of wattage do i need? i am guessing that the 2 8800's alone can take up to 250-300 watts as shown on some benchmarks :S ?

Corsair 620HX could be a good place to start.

thank you very much

3 days ago i thought i would just simply upgrade a few parts.... now it seems like the only bits of my current pc i will have left are the sata drives and the case

Thats what tends to happen with PCs

I guess it is my fault for moving from a amd board to a intel board

that new quad core is just tooo nice even for a die hard amd fan like myself
