It will be close.
I would get at least a corsair 550

What can my psu handle..?
Here's my psu: PCP&C 470w Silencer.
I bought this figuring I'd build my rig and be done with it.
Then I found OCN....

I want to build a gpu only water loop--just a small one. And I'll be buying a 5750 for X-mas after this 9500GT gives it's life in the name of HWBOT points--5750 will be promptly volt modded.
Can this psu handle all of this? Where I'm at now:
E7400 (RMAing) but old one took 1.4v for 4GHz
2 x 2 GB Kingston HyperX 1099 @ 2.22v
9500GT 1.32v core
1 Pioneer AIO optical
1 WD Caviar Black 500GB
Fans:
1 Scythe S-Flex "F" at 1600 RPM
2 Antec Tri-Cool on Medium
1 140mm top fan on high
1 120mm rear exhaust on High
1 92mm (on VGA cooler) running at 12v
So all this plus:
Swiftech MCP655-B Water Pump
and the 5750 in place of the 9500.
psu is about a year old.

If you are going to go 650 why no pay $10 and go 750.
It ends up being 99.99 for a 750.
Upgrade now instead of having to do it in the future.
(if you wanna spend that much that is)

Go for it, Corsair makes great PSUs, I ran 3 GPUs and a Q6600 on the CX400w......I wouldn't recommend this, but it is a testament to the quality of their PSUs. I have a VX450 thats been going strong in my parents computer for ~1.5 years powering several HDDs and a quad.

I guess I'm ordering this first. May as well order it tonight before I do something stupid and blow my entire rig. Thanks guys. I knew I was on shakey ground but kept telling myself it could work. Better not to risk it. +Reps.... |

No problem. Yeah man, I wouldn't skimp on the psu if I were you, just remember that it's what keeps your whole setup going, so your build is really only as reliable as the source that's keeping it up. It's a boring upgrade, but it will be worth it. You won't be disappointed with any of the corsair psu's
