Hi guys, well this is my question for the day, im sure that everyone here knows...it's a pain in the ass to be upgrading and upgrading PSUs, it's tedious, expensive and you don't really feel an impact in performance so, getting to it, this is my actual RIG:
PHENOM X4 9600 @2.3ghz
OCZ 4x 1GB DDr2 @866mhz
MSI - K9A2-CF edition (worst mother ever, it sucks)
MSI ATI HD 4850 512mb OC Edition
And the important Part...
POWERCOOLER 550w MODULAR TYPE R2
It has 2 PCIe Connectors since it was made for Xfire (although...i really doubt this would pull any Xfire beyond 2x3870's)
My question is, im going for this rig right now...
PHENOM 2 x3 720 BE @2.8 (planning on taking it to 3.0 at least)
OCZ 2x2gb DDR3 @ 1333
GIGABYTE AM3 GA-MA79XTUD4P 4DDR3 2PCIE UD3 or MSI 790FX-GD70 AMD 790FX AM3 PCI-E (x16) DDR3
ATI 5850 1gb (any brand actually maybe Saphire or HiS)
And im planning to keep my old PSU, technically the Processor and the VGA won't take much more power than the old ones, or at least that's what i found out by looking at reviews and stuff like that, but well this is my first post in this forum and im really hoping you guys can lend me a hand.
Basically im trying to not change my PSU for all the above reasons and what i didn't mentioned before, im from argentina, here we have HUGE imports taxes going to 51% in some cases so you guys should have that in mind, im a really budget person and trying to be happy with that XD.
So big question is, based on the 12v rails and total power consumption (i don't use any extras HD nor DVD drives just a 160GB HD and one DVD recorder) do you think that this PSU will hold the load??
Thank you all in advance and im really sorry if this is the wrong place to post, i thought this would be the place
