Will 600W suffice?

NP1 · 07-08-2009, 05:36 AM

Im going to rebuild my comp and i was wondering:

I have an OCZ Stealth XStream 600W Power supply

Will that suffice with this system:

M'board - Asus M4A78T-E
CPU - Phenom x2 550 BE
2 x HD4850 PowerColor 1GB
1x 1TB HDD
2x 250GB HDD

For two of those video cards, you need AT LEAST 850 watt power supply in there of a good brand name. If I were running that setup, I would spill for the 900 watt+ to run two of those cards.

Therefore, I would have to say, NO, it won't do the job for you.

no.. you need 900W at least with a good brand like corsair, thermaltake, coolermaster or silverstone
