hmmmm, 580W may be just about ok. However, it may be worth going for the Corsair 620W just to give you that little extra head room.

Yes it will be enough, but you need a new PSU for any further significant upgrade. i.e. quad core CPU, second 8800.

I'll never sli/crossfire, but if I was to go quad core, which would be the next ideal PSU? Would the Seasonic M12 Modular 700W Silent ATX2.0 Power Supply be sufficient?

steve258 · 12 Jan 2007 at 12:38

Yes that's more than enough.

Yes that PSU will be ok

You could easily get away with 600W tbh.
