Quick PSU question

pdw8 · 19 May 2008 at 23:51

I'm just in the middle of upgrading and have bought the following:

evga-780i mobo
Q6600-GO cpu
2x2GB OCZ Reaper
Tuniq Tower

existing:
2 x BFG 7800 GT OC
Tagan 580W PSU
Antec P190

Will the PSU be sufficient to run this hardware? I will look into getting a new one when I upgrade the graphics cards.
Thanks.

how are the 12V rails like on it?

not sure how to test that but I have had no psu issues to date.

look at the label/sticker on the PSU and just tell us what it says

it has 2 x 12v rails both rated at 20amps each.

should be fine for those graphics cards...ran one on a psu with 16 amps on one 12v rail and 14 amps on the other. just fine. your psu is a better brand then my old one so as long as it has two pcie connectors and support sli it will be fine.
