My specs are shown on the left, will a 450W psu give enough power to run these ? I bought the Raidmax Saggita case, which has 450 W PSU included in it. Will it be enough to power my comp. I haven't turned it on yet, had to go for some holidays. ;)

well mostly every one says not to use PSU's that come in cases so you want to run it at 3.5GHz or is it running at those speed already?

it should, but i wouldnt want to take the chance of it going bad and killing you stuff with it.

and it would be alot better to have that 8-pin for the cpu cuz its one for each core

are you willing to get a new PSU? if so for how much?

not much actually, is there any other case just as beautiful and elegant as Saggita, but with a better psu at the near price ?
Its looks were the factors which caught my eye. :)

I made a fixed budget on every component and then upgraded, that helped me in money matter, 'cause it was paid by my dad ya know. So, I just fixed 75bucks for the case, I didn't knew it needed more power. I was running E6400 for 5 months or so, and the other components were too old, except mobo, so I told my dad that my comp. was getting old besides of being a powerhouse. And thats how I got the money sonny. Any More questions, eh ? sry fr being impolite. Your words were ruder than expected...
Also I have written before that I have bought it before, but didn't run it. So i can write it in my spec right ?

why did you get two if you only needed one is my ? cuz a 6700 is not worth the extra $ if you can get a 6600 and get the same oc and if you kept the 6400 the 4MB L2 is not that much of a performance increase

I wanted best performance and oc'in in my fixed budget so I wanted E6700, but it was'nt available 5 months before in India, so I went on with E6400 and decided to get E6700 when it would come to India. 1month before came to mycity's pc hardware retailer, exchanged it for E6400(give) and E6700 (get).Which saved me time and performance, E6400 ran fine on 450W at 2.6 ghz, very cool indeed. And when I switched to E6700, went on the winter holidays,to Hong Kong to see one of our relative who live there. Came back now, and 1 question will this run on 450W (E6700). If not what will it run good on ?
