Good Power Supply for my setup?

jwisjw · Aug 26, 2005

Hi guys, I'm new and I've just been reading up on what power supply I should use.

I just purchased an Athlon 64 4000+ Sandiego w/ the EVGA 7800GT and Mobo Combo. I'm not acutally planning on OC'ing it but I want it to have the right amount of power.

The Power supply that I recently purchased was the
Enermax FMA 535
Part # EG565P-VE

Is this going to be safe from my components frying?

do you think that this is going to be good for my video card though? hehe. My video card requires 28A and 12v? I'm not to technical on that because I don't know what im talking about.

mr. seankon I don't understand any of that lol. Sorry I'm so new to computers it's unbelievable. =(

OK no problem!

Well you should relax!
This program OK it is not suitable for novices/beginners overclockers but it includes some useful stuff.
PSU estimator is a program in which you input some values (it is simple) and then you can see how many watts are OK for your system.
Bible includes instructions/screen captures...

I think you will be fine with that PSU, Looks like dual rails with 18a on each 12v rail.

That PSU should hold you up but if you're interest in getting another one you can look into OCZ 600 Powerstream or a PCP&C 510 which are around $200 but if you're on a budget you can still get a OCZ 520 Powerstream.

That is a pretty decent PSU I wouldn't even bother with looking to buy a new one. That one will work fine for your needs.

I do think that 36A combined on the 12V rails will definately be sufficient.
