Thanks

pulls about 160 watts on load, which is 160/12=13,333 amps total according to above link

I see 260W(~21a) Idle and 365W(~30.5a) load.

That's total system load?

Ok I see it now. Very very interesting ......

itll probably work... but if you sit in the room when its quiet enough, you will hear your PSU weeping.

I say go for it. Get a new psu asap. I am looking at the Corsair 650w myself to upgrade my EA500D.

Why upgrade? Im sure it will suffice even with your new GTX.

I wouldn't trust an Antec 500W on that system. I would go for at least a 600W.

I trust its wattage, everything is solid and stable. Its just the adapters I have to use because of its lack of an 8pin GPU connector. If it had one I wouldn't be upgrading :toast:

Trust the EA500D. It's got enough juice and I have one pushing 420watts 24/7 for 3 months now. It's the most efficient as well as the coolest running PSU I have. The other 3 rigs have EA650's and tend to run hotter somehow.

re

thanks.In a may I will buy ocz elitextream 800w,cause antec quatro 850 is 50e more expensive ,and there is no signature in my country

I hope that ea500d will be enough to use it till then.
