Looking for advice.

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
So I've downloaded PSUCalc 1.5 and it's saying that 375W will be enough for my sig rig. Is that correct?

If so I'm going to get a smaller power supply because I have no plans to upgrade to SLI and if I was to upgrade to Ivybridge then it would be even less right?

If this is correct then can someone recommend me an awesome power supply that is fully modular and will go with my black and red theme?

Thanks.

It is probably correct but I would not go below 450w with that rig just to give it a bit of leeway.

If you were going to downgrade to a lower wattage psu you would need to make sure it was gold rated so it could output a solid max all the time.
