What kind of power supply will work?

  • what im looking at is: Core™2 Quad Processor Q6600 2.4GHz w/ 2x4MB Cache nForce 780i SLI w/ DualDDR2 1200, 7.1 Audio, Dual GB Lan, 1394, PCI-E 2.0, 3-Way SL 4GB PC2-6400 Vista Performance Gold Dual Channel DDR2 Kit (2 x 2GB) 250GB Barracuda 7200.10 SATA II w/ NCQ, 16MB Cache e-GeForce 9800 GTX 512MB as it stands i have a 700watt that fits my budget. my buddy who i have trusted for years with computer stuff has, in recent weeks, given me some false info... which leads me to believe that he is no longer reliable. he said that 700watts is just good enough, and if i plan to get a second 9800gtx, i should need more than that... now i know how much power 700watts is, and that seems REALLY high for only running 2 gtx cards, even with everything else please help! also, if you want feel free to throw in your 2 cents about possible upgrades for it and any opinions are always welcome

The HP Blackbird 002 runs on a 700watt and its a BEAST of a machine. 700watt should be plenty.

While plenty of "computer buddys" are full of crap, this one is right. Check the link below, that graphics card will pull 230watts on its own. Imagine two of them in your rig hogging 500watts, leaving 200 for the rest of the box (CPU will use 100+ alone). 700 watt will be fine for that machine, but will limit upgrades like an additional 9800.

I think even with 2 9800's you would be fine (as long as your PSU is rated for SLI)

Looks to me that the 700 watt will be enough to power your buddies PC as well SATA drives have seperate Supplies in SATA power supplies all you are feeding is RAM CPU and buss lotsa low end current is what you want make sure 3.3 and 5 volt is 5a or higher
