recommended PSU

[legraudal]

Hello,

I'm currently working on a build and i need some help to decide which PSU to use...

My build consist of:

Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3
Intel® Core i5-2500K @ 4.0 Ghz
SAPPHIRE HD 6950 2GB
Cooler Master Hyper TX3 + extra fan
HDD, etc...

Would a 650W PSU do the job? or would i need more or less?

Regards Legraudal

You could run that on any PSU that has 500 W +12V output. (Probably less, but some headroom is always good)

Also consider whether you would like the possiblity of going Crossfire in the future. For a single card, I would go with a decent branded and reputable 550W power supply.

XFX Pro 550W Core Edition '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply

For Crossfire a 650W might just be pushing it slightly and would rather go for a 700W-750W to give you a bit of headroom for overclocking etc.
