OMG - buy at least a 800Watt psu even better is a 850Watt psu.

and why a gigabyte mobo when you can afford an Asus ?

850 watt is overkill and too expensive.. and i like gigabyte better then asus..that's why.

750-850W seems to be the norm when paired with a core i7.

Totally agree with you on the Gigabyte board.

I'm making my final config now..

Thrackan · Feb 26, 2009

I use a 500w PSU and it still holds...

Th1nk · Feb 26, 2009

what are your system's specifications ?

Thrackan · Feb 26, 2009

See System Specs below my icon

You run this with a 500Watt psu shouldnt you tweak your gfx ?

I tweaked it up from 775/1126 to 900/1283

Seriously:
GFX = 125w max
motherboard around 30w
3xHDD around 60 max (on spinup really)
DVD/RW around 20 max
Totals 235 watts, leaving some headroom for fans and stuff makes it 250w

That leaves 250w to the CPU, even an i7 won't do that much.

True, but it's also an "ask for advice" thread, so you can get a little more accurate advice there.
