Alright, how does this work, i'm looking at a i7 920, which requires 130W and a GTX 275 which requires 550W
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-475-_-Product

Do i add the 130W + 550W = 680W ?


Is this power supply sufficient? It's 600W

Thanks!

Can you fit this one into your budget? It's just a little bit more expensive, but it will power your system well.

No, wattage ratings are meaningless if you don't look at the rest of the claim. For instance, is the 600 watt peak or sustained? Is it at real world temperatures or taken in an unrealistic freezer? There are 500 watt power supplies out there that can easily outperform some "700 watt" power supplies. There simply isn't the regulation to keep the claims on a level playing field. Audio is in the same situation. Ever seen a $10 500 watt amplifier that weighs like 1 lb?

Wait... a GTX 275 doesn't require 550W! It pulls like 160W while gaming, max.

You could power an i7 system with a single GTX 275 on a decent 450W power supply.

If you're not going to upgrade to dual cards at any point, I'd probably get something like a VX550 or a TruePower New 550W, both are more than enough for your rig.

That 650w Corsair should be sufficient although a good 750w unit would be recommended if you ever do decide to go SLI. Not to mention it would give you the headroom you need in case you decide to add another HDD or 2 for RAID, or you add a lot of fans, a sound card, etc.etc.

I'd be happy running SLi GTX 275s on a 650W power supply. The only trouble is that most of them don't have enough power connectors, except the TP-650.
