Hello, i have everything in my Sig already

just ordered the Radeon 4870 yesterday so all i need left is a PSU.

the motherboard i have:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128358

GPU:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102810

i dont want to spend too much, looking for 500-650W range.

Also it needs to have 2 PCI-E 6Pin because the 4870 says it has 2 6pin slots on the card but do i really need to connect both 6Pin PCI-E?

thanks in advance. this is the final step to my first build and i will post pictures.

We have similar rigs....I would suggest the Corsair brand as I have had really good success with their customer service and their quality. I had a 4850X2 before it got RMA'd and I went with the 750 TX. You might want to consider it.

In post #5 of the above thread is a link to a review on that PSU and a link to a PSU calculator that may be of assistance!

Good Luck!

+1 for the 650w though the 750w is on sale right now ($20 more than 650w)

Ok i narrowed it down to these:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139005

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139004

ok now regardless of which i choose they can both power the Radeon HD 4870 that needs the 2 6Pin PCI-E right?

 

[crashnburn_819]

Get the 650w (its the same price...)
You'll have more power than you'll need.
edit: yes it has two connectors

+1 for the Corsair 650w

Yes. It needs 2 6Pin PCI-E. 4870 is a 150w GPU so either one should be fine but go for 650tx because the price.

Correct. They both have 2 PCI-E connectors. Go with the 650W. Same price after MIR for 100W more. Why not?

You will be just fine on either...saw you ordered the 650 TX....excellent choice! If you need help with the build don't be afraid to ask away.
