Will i have enough power?

[A2Z]

Got a X1800XT 512MB coming soon to replace my 6600GT, will be joining my a8n-sli, winnie [email protected], 2gb corsair ram, audigy 2 zs, dvd-rw, and 3 (THREE) SATA Hard drives.

My PSU is an Akasa 400W, will this be enough???

also whats this rails thing about etc? is it important?

You work it out

it says 372W on that...is my 400W PSU cutting it a bit tight?

Defo, my akasa 460w runs the rig in my sig perfectly

yes but you have an extra 60w


also on that site it says "The total Watts is important but the Total Amperage Available on the +12V Rail(s) is the most important, followed by the +5V amperage and then the +3.3V amperage. Because of the increased power consumption of the new high-power video cards the recommended minimum for +12V is 26A, for SLI 35A. "

on the side of my PSU it has +12v1 and under it 14A...

By 'coming soon' you mean you've already orderd it, right? If so, I guess its just a case of try-it and see if it works. If it does, or even if it doesn't, you should consider investing in a new+good PSU like the Tagan's
