More than enough, there was just an article a month or two ago that took a high end comp like yours and found out it doesnt use as much power as most of us around here thought it would have.

But its always best to go over.

No, go for 10 more jiggawatts for just 78 rubels more.

j/k you are totally fine bro


The i7 can pull a scary amount of power when OC'd. Ask Linskingdom for the exact figure. He will scan his databases and put you within 1 watt of how much it is pulling at your frequency.

GTX260 is a 182w GPU and Oced i7 may take up to 220w depending on the voltage/speed. The 850tx can do 70a on 12v so it has plenty of power.
