Hello all,
I am building a gaming computer (at least thats the direction I hope Im going in) and Im not sure about the psu. The calculators Ive messed with online seem to think 650w will be ok, but I would like a more definitive answer from those who know.
I saw on yalls list that the Antec Earthwatts 650 made the preferred list ( I was looking at the Antec TP 650, not sure what/if any differences are in the 2)
I am going with an ASUS M4A89TD PRO/USB3 with an AMD Phenom II x4 965 BE Deneb. I am looking at a Radeon HD 6870 for a gpu. 2x 4gb Gskill Ripjaws for ram( i see no point in going for 16gb, but having the option to upgrade it is nice) and a 500gb WD Caviar Black 7200 rpm sata 6gb.
I havent decided yet as to whether or not I want to OC ( if I do it wont be much) or use crossfire ( I think that card should be ok by itself for now).
My question is will 650w be enough and if so would the Earthwatts or TP be better? And if yall have any suggestions to throw my way, Ill be more than happy to take them in
Thanks yall!
