the 4870 X2 is over rated

one single 4870 would do plenty or 280GTX or 275GTX

redsox381 · 08-23-2009, 12:19 PM

That doesn't really answer the question now, does it?

**linderman** · 08-23-2009, 12:33 PM

yes fully compatible

**Phædrus2401** · 08-23-2009, 01:13 PM

It's an ok system, but I wouldn't get that power supply. Try the Corsair tx850w or a similar unit from SeaSonic or PC Power and Cooling.

I agree with the two above posts that card is over rated and the power supply you have chosen isn't very good compared the ones suggested.

But yes it is all compatible.

OK, thanks for the help guys. Based on this post and another forum i've been using i'll probably go for the 295 and a 700w Cooler Master Real Power

Your best of going for the types of PSU mentioned aboube (corsair or seasonic) and a bigger wattage than 700w.
