[SOLVED] New power supply? =?

BaM_bAM · 10-26-2009, 02:20 AM

Hey all.

I want a new power supply for my machine. I dont have alot of cash to spend so i thought i must ask you guys about a good budget PSU.
So far i have my eyes on the GIGABYTE ODIN 720W 24-Pin Power Supply.

My specs are as follows.

Gigabyte motherboard, S-Series
2 hard drives
ATI HD4870
Intel duo core +4400
2 Gig ram - (2x 1gig)
Dvd-RW

I had a look at a website from asus where it calculates the power your system needs and i was told it must be above 600W.
So will this gigabyte PSU work for my system?

Thanks alot for the help in advance!

I would not purchase either of the mentioned supplies. Here is what you need for that video card:

That 750 is actually a much better buy at that price and that way you will have a bigger supply for future upgrades.
