Thoughts on a new system

MasterPlan1 · 29 Mar 2011 at 11:05

Thinking of upgrading to Sandybridge from my Q6600. Keeping with my current love of everything that is small, what do you think of the following? Will 450w be enough?

I only play WoW so the 550Ti should be ample, I may want to see what all the hype is about and play some Crysis/2, but I keep most of my gaming which isn't WoW on my consoles.

KFA2 1GB GeForce GTX 550 Ti
Gigabyte GA-H67N-USB3-B3
Intel Core i5 2400S
4GB Corsair Vengeance Blue DDR3
Silverstone SG05BB-450 450W PSU
Total: £518

GeForce GTX 550 Ti - 28A and a 450W PSU minimum

Some say 400w so you may be ok.

Yes, I think it will. Power requirement for the 550 is sub 300w at full load.

yeah, so the SG05 with a 450w would be fine then. Especially seen as though I'm going with the 2400S which is 65w instead of 95w. I have no plans of overclocking, too busy, old and boring for that malarky.
