Will This Psu Be Able To Run My New Pc? Parts - cpu - intel core i7 2600k mobo - Asus Maximus Extreme gpu - XFX hd6970 2GB ram - corsair vengence 1600mhz 16Gb Crucial M4 Samsung Spinpoint F3 And a Laing D5 Pump http://www.amazon.co.uk/Antec-HCP-7...1_4?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1318098082&sr=1-4 Thanks Guys, Luke
Rather get a Corsair AX850... http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B003QP41...de=asn&creative=22206&creativeASIN=B003QP417O Smaller form factor and very very capable, even beyond the specifications!
Just because it's 850W that doesn't mean it's constantly drawing that amount of power! It'll only use what's needed for your computers components and the Corsair AX series are very well regarded as they are efficient. You might even make an energy saving going for the AX850 in comparison to the Antec!
The draw isn't that high under full load. The pump won't add any major wattage pull http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/graphics/2010/12/15/ati-radeon-hd-6970-review/10 http://www.scan.co.uk/products/760w-psu-seasonic-ss-760km-modular-80-plus-gold-eps-12v-quiet-fan-atx I'd go for one of these myself
maybe i should go with this one? i want to be 100% sure ill be fine, my 2 gpu's will take 600watt alone on load although that antec says it is crossfire ready?
so you guys are telling me that this is better than that antec one i showed you that is nearly £50 dearer? :O http://www.dabs.com/products/corsai...Enthusiast Series TX750 Modular Power Supply"
I'd save the money and go for this corsair yes. Its a good PSU and will handle your requirements. If cost isn't an issue thats another matter...bit-tech's recent labs test may help your decision...they recently reviewed a lot of PSUs and they rated the Antec as their top choice (Antec High Current Pro HCP-750), but that isn't to say there aren't other good ones out there, I myself went for a slightly older but still great Antec Truepower 650 Modular. Hope that Labs test gives you a better idea and helps your decision. They may be out of stock, but its your best for the Antec at Scan for £130.
You could but whats the point when go could get more wattage so it doesn't have to run at full load when gaming.
