lol. Same boat. My tax return came in, and it immediately went into savings, never to be touched until I need it to survive.

My wife need's a computer upgrade, and I can't do anything for her. I hate it.

No word on how well the stock cooler will dissipate heat when you blow a bit more air over it or what the stock fan profile is running at.
It seems a bit premature, especially when 1 680 will probably eat 3 of those 5770's and put out less heat overall.
Serious dilution.

A good 750-watt Corsair, Seasonic, or equivalent unit will be sufficient. If you're not comfortable with that, an 850-watt unit will give you a generous amount of headroom.

Any good 500-550w would certainly handle something this a power draw as low as this card, even overclocked. 700w or even 650w would more than suffice for two.

I feel like even 750W will be generous...but I'm usually conservative with PSU sizing.

650-watts will be a little too close for comfort. 750-watts should be plenty, especially since you've got an LGA1366 system which uses a little more power than LGA1155.

I disagree

GTX 680 > Food
GTX 680 > Water
GTX 680 > Cars
GTX 680 > Girls
GTX 680 > Life.

Thanks for the informative post BTW. offtopic.gif
